How do I clean my EarPods effectively and without damaging the surface nor using the shirt method?

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?

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.

Having tried the weirdest things I decided to put some denaturalised alcohol in play. Well, that turns out to be as useful for cleaning earpods as it for disinfecting stuff. I can finally listen to the sound that I'm used to again. I took a couple of cotton buds and moistened one end with the alcohol. I used the other to dry the earpod off afterwards. I also used my air duster to make absolutely sure nothing leaked into the speaker.
