AirPods, popular wireless headphones from Apple, have become almost essential for many users. Yet, like any daily device, earwax and debris can affect performance and appearance. A careful cleaning routine is important to keep AirPods functioning well and looking good, while also helping to keep devices organized for longer use.
Below is a detailed guide. Clean your AirPods safely and efficiently.
How to clean AirPods
For safe cleaning you will need:
- Incorrectly placed items may damage components; gather these tools first for a smooth process.
- A soft, dry microfiber cloth.
- Cotton buds or sticks.
- Isopropyl alcohol (optional, used sparingly).
- A soft bristle brush.
Begin with the exterior. Gently wipe the outer surface with the microfiber cloth to remove dust and oils. If stubborn stains persist, lightly dampen the cloth with isopropyl alcohol and wipe the affected area, taking care that liquid does not leak into openings.
Wax or dirt on the grille can affect sound quality. Use the soft bristle brush with light, outward strokes to lift debris without pushing it inward. A dry cotton swab can reach tighter spots if needed.
The charging case also needs attention. Clean the outside with the microfiber cloth. For the charging port, employ a soft-bristled brush to clear debris. Avoid liquids or materials that could harm electronic parts.
Gently clean around the AirPods’ openings and sensors with a dry cotton swab. Apply minimal pressure and prevent fibers from leaving residue on sensitive areas.
After cleaning, ensure both AirPods and the case are completely dry before using or charging again. Do a final check to confirm there is no cotton residue or dirt anywhere.
Tips for caring for your AirPods
- Avoid humidity: Do not expose AirPods to liquids. While some models offer water resistance, they are not meant to be submerged or exposed to aggressive liquids.
- Safe charging: Ensure both the AirPods and the charging case are dry before connecting to power.
- Proper storage: Keep AirPods in their case when not in use to protect them from dust and dirt.
- Avoid abrasive products: Do not use cleaners, sprays, solvents, ammonia, or abrasives on AirPods.
- Regular cleaning: Make cleaning AirPods part of a routine to prevent dirt and wax buildup.
