6 days agoYour AirPods are gross. This $6 tool will keep them sparkling clean
Regular cleaning of earbuds is essential to prevent bacterial growth, and a $6 cleaning tool can help maintain their condition.
Believe it or not, the best thing I have found to clean earbuds (and phone jacks) is a soft-bristle brush like a toothbrush ($8 for six). Use this dry at first, and with a little bit of distilled and deionized water ($17 per gallon) or isopropyl alcohol ($10 for 32 oz) if anything is too stubborn to get out of the ear holes. Make sure to dry your earbuds with a microfiber cloth after.
