Your Earbuds Are Gross. Here’s How to Clean Them Properly

[dacrazyjamez@sh.itjust.works]

If its earwax, use hydrogen peroxide on a small swab or wipe. Itll take it right off.

For other gunk: vinegar, dawn soap, lemon juice (depending on what the cause is)

Game changer for me. Use convential earbuds (cheap ones) with anc for couple times a year that I'm on a plane. High quality convential wired earmuff style for armchair listening. These for everything else.

I guess that's only for the rubber or silicone parts, or do your earbuds have a good IP rating to be submerged?

[drkt@scribe.disroot.org]

Ah, open, as in not creating a seal in your ear, and not open as in open source.

I knew that...

[imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works]

Both would be even cooler.

Yeah I take the tips off and only clean those bits. On my earbuds they have a pretty good mesh filter which stops wax etc. getting further into them

[caseyweederman@lemmy.ca]

Yes. You have to throw them out immediately after and then buy new ones. Really gets 'em clean.

Good idea! I have one of those for my Invisalign thingies. Just need to clean it thoroughly between the two.

[imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works]

Neat, but don't look like open format.

This helped save a few of the earphones you get with iPhones.
