How to clean your AirPods

Wireless earbuds have become a popular choice for listening to music and podcasts, but they can get dirty quickly due to frequent use and exposure to ear wax, oils, and skin cells. Cleaning your earbuds and their charging case is essential for maintaining hygiene and ensuring better sound quality and longevity. The cleaning process varies depending on the type of earbuds, with removable silicone tips being easier to deep clean. To clean earbuds, start by wiping them down with a microfiber cloth, then use a cotton swab or toothpick to gently remove dirt and debris from the tips and crevices. For earbuds with delicate mesh membranes, use a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth to clean the tips, and avoid using soap or other cleaning products. To clean the charging case, use a soft cloth or cotton swab to remove dirt and debris from the metal contacts and crevices. Regularly cleaning your earbuds and charging case can help prevent damage and maintain their performance. It's also important to keep your earbuds dry, especially after workouts, and to check on their state regularly to prevent dirt and debris from building up. Additionally, keeping your earbuds' companion app up-to-date can ensure you have the latest features and performance improvements.
