What is the best way to clean AirPods?

Start with a Damp, Lint-Free Cloth

• Best Way: Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the outer surfaces of your AirPods.
• Avoid Excess Moisture: The cloth should be just damp enough to remove debris, not soaked or dripping wet.

Clean the Mesh and Small Gaps Carefully

• Use a Dry Cotton Swab: For the speaker mesh and hard-to-reach areas, gently run a dry, clean cotton swab along the openings to clear out any build-up.
• Be Gentle: Avoid pressing too hard, as the mesh is delicate and may be damaged by excessive force.

Keep the Charging Case Clean

• Wipe the Exterior: Use the same soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth to clean the outside of the charging case. Do not let any moisture seep into the case openings.
• Detailing with a Cotton Swab: For small crevices, a dry cotton swab can help remove any dust or particles without risking moisture damage.

General Tips for Safe Cleaning

• No Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using cleaning products, sprays, or abrasive materials. These could damage the surface or affect performance.
• Regular Maintenance: Cleaning your AirPods and charging case regularly removes any accumulated dirt or earwax, keeping them in better condition over time.
• Allow to Dry: If your AirPods or case get a little damp, give them a few minutes to air dry before use or before putting them back into the charging case.
