I need to clean the dirt and lint that's on my EarPods. It's on the meshes and I need to get them out. Can anyone help?
iPod touch, iOS 6.1, 5th Gen
I just discovered that using an earplug (y'know, the kind that you use to reduce noise) to clean my earpods is a great solution! They're made of super soft foam to conform to the small nooks/crannies of earpods and it expands back to it's regular form for next-time use. Haven't seen anything on the web about this technique - so, i thought i'd place it here.
How did you suck it out? Putting your lips all around it or sucking with a gap between your lips and EarPod?
If you want to, make it a visual of what you did.
This worked like magic, I already owned the blu tack!
Does anyone know if i can use debrox earwax cleaner to get rid of the ear wax?
Earwax cleaner ought to work fine. I just put some hydrogen peroxide in a shot glass, soaked the earbuds for 20 minutes, and blew them out using a keyboard cleaner (compressed air can).
I signed up for a support account just to reply to a three year old post but **** that method worked well. Nice! Thank you for that gross, obvious, and effective idea:)
Blu-tack. It completely removes the ear wax from the EarPod's metal mesh, incredibly clean as new!
I tested several methods on the past couple of years:
Any mounting putty will work (Sticky-tack, Tack-it, Poster-tack, etc...). I like it because it is dry, so it is even safe to clean the AirPods.
Blowing on each speaker part actually works the best, they sounded good as new afterwards.
Oh my god your a frickin life saver. I tried absolutely everything else and nothing worked. So I did what you did and now they work just like they did when I first bought my phone .... thank you thank you thank youuuuuuu
Lol. I've done that 3 times, and so far so good, as long as they're in my jeans pocket they stay relatively okay.
Side note: they turn more and more pink each time...
How did you use the needle to get it open?
How do I clean my EarPods effectively and without damaging the surface nor using the shirt method?
