Nowadays, people are not able to take care of small things in the run-of-the-mill life, like earphones, which most people use daily. From listening to songs to talking, earphones are always needed.

Keep in mind that cleaning the buds cannot be done with water or any liquid. Here is a list of several ways through which you can easily clean your earphones. Whether you have wired, wireless, or completely wire-free earphones, all of them require a cleaning. Notably, it is advisable to clean your earphones every thrice a week to avoid earwax buildup.

There is no hard-and-fast rule as to how frequently you need to clean your earbuds or headphones. Whenever you notice dust, sticky fingerprints, earwax, oil, or sweat on headphones, clean them right away.

Wipe your earbuds

It is necessary to wipe your earbuds after each use with a rubbing alcohol wipe. It will not just sanitize them but also avoid catching any virus or bacteria. You can find the alcohol wipe in the first aid shops or any grocery store. If your earbuds are clean, they will not only last longer but also sound better.

Use soft cloth

A microfiber cloth should be used while cleaning the earbuds. It will protect them from scratches.

Always put them in a charging case.

The charging case protects your earbuds from dirt, water, and several other dirt particles. But it is also necessary to make sure the charging case is also clean before docking the earbuds. Any moisture or liquid can raise trouble for your earbuds.

Get cleaning tool

You can purchase a cleaning tool online which comes with soft bristle brushes, fine cleaning swabs, soft brushes, cleaning spray bottles, and anti-static cleaning wipes.
