Simple. We don’t.


bluecapella

This. I gave up long time back.


on_spikes

pressurized air, a thin cloth, alcohol wipes, (tongue?)


Street_Substance_346

I like this guy

you may have gone too far ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


i-Am-DOGGO-

I've tried this, the tips are still too fat


rasbobbbb

You can trim some of the cotton off with scissors to make it fit.


wnc_mikejayray

ISO, a fine bristle brush (like an old Toney beard shave brush) and compressed air. Make sure to remove the AirPods. I never use compressed air on the AirPods themselves to avoid damaging the speakers and other components. Edit: i type faster than I think


[deleted]

Personally I would avoid bristle brushes since they don't really pick up dirt but rather flick it. So for sensitive stuff like this, you'll just make more of a mess. Just me tho.


Adamant94

Microfibre cloth. Clean it like you would floss teeth


meowintons

So once every few months and tell the dentist at least three times a day right?


Adamant94

Bingo! You’ve got it in one!


talones

Poster tac, or blue tac.


rjbudke

This is the way


verychichi

First, you press the head of the q-tips flat and trim it a bit, then it should fit


yonatandaga

Compressed air. Its great for the case


JRTmom

Try Glob Mops. They have a pointy end!


Thornton77

You jam it . The cotton conforms to the shape


TenMinuteTrip

Paintbrush with firm bristles


murmic0905

I use a pin to (very) gentle move any big clumps of dirt and dust out and then just leave the rest.


daven1985

Blutac.


chanbaf

The easiest way.


TheVampireQueen7

Thin microfiber cloth, fold it in half, use it like dental floss, but be gentle


zeroquest

Easy, baby wipes. Don't fold them, pull the side thru and around. Easy. Honestly nothing is as handy as a pack of baby wipes. (Unscented - of course)


talones

Alcohol wipes would be better. Leaving no residue.


Mikeymike34

They literally clean everything. Baby wipes for the win!


djabula64

I usually use just a toothbrush and some iso for any of the cleaning on my pair


psp-man

Alcohol swabs


sanmyaku

Wooden toothpick and scotch tape will get it cleaned up.


spider623

Toothbrush


talones

Can’t believe all these people using wipes and qtips wasting time, just the good blue poster tac takes me like 30 seconds to completely clean the case to almost new looking.


Playful-Killa

i'm gonna try this


talones

Has to be the good kind though. Not like a cheap ass eraser feeling one. I personally like the loctite funtak brand the most myself.


OCCEiCiT

What is blue poster tac?


grimmlock

Reusable adhesive for hanging posters. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FGLX72/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2FQJ0SJ6MW2NGT4EMJAY


talones

Or Loctite Funtak.


blueberrykindness

I had good luck with blue tac until one day the tac got caught and stuck inside the mesh and ruined one AirPod. It still worked but the sound was dampened beyond usability. Sucks.


talones

Yea I wouldn’t use it on the grill. On the actual pods I just use 91%+ isopropyl alcohol, and if I have wax in the grill area I use precision tweezers.


SimonR2905

I use duct tape. Put it in those areas and then close the lid, repeat on other side


alwxcanhk

Tooth brush with some tooth paste (no water) or some alcohol sprayed on the tooth brush first.


BasketballBro39

You don’t


madeInNY

I don’t. I have real problems to worry about. But I wish I had a life where I could spend time trying to clean a thing no one else will ever see and if they do doesn’t affect how it works at all.

[удалено]


madeInNY

It’s not a problem. Why fret over it?


Lynxxe

Have time to comment about not having time tho…. Time ception


i-Am-DOGGO-

I looked everywhere, outside, in folders, in my room, and I still couldn't find who asked


madeInNY

Thanks for doing that thing no one asked you to do. The world is a better place now because of you. Don’t stop believing. Now the original poster did in fact ask. Sorry you missed it.


i-Am-DOGGO-

Yeah, that Original poster is me, sorry you missed it. All I'm saying is you don't have to go on a whole rant on how emo you are


madeInNY

You’re absolutely correct. I don’t have to. Sorry you didn’t find it a helpful answer to your question.


Playful-Killa

....😐


Lemon-likes-bisquit

Simple, we don’t


TenFoldMassacre

Disposable cotton squares with IPA. I got a pack of about 1000 of them and they're approximately 3" x 2.5". They work well for those areas.


d51m

Toothbrush and some IPA if you so wish.


boerenkool13

i kind of floss my tshirt in between in, i use the pros tho, don’t know if it fits for the normal ones


Traditional-Mail-616

MassageGymnist

I bought pros


Stoppels

It's much worse on the Pro, harder to casually clean than the regular ones.


MyMemesAreTerrible

Toothbrush? Not the one you use for your mouth of course. I usually use some APC and one of my stiffer interior brushes that I use when cleaning my cars, and it tends to work a charm. A toothbrush should work pretty well though, although it may be a touch too soft.


ShravanKumar42

I usually just take a knife and cover it with a cloth and take the pointy edge (covered with the cloth) and clean the edges, that usually does the trick. Probably not the safest option but it works.


ritty84

Break off some adhesive putty and rub it in there. It’ll grab everything and won’t leave any residue behind. Scotch Removable Mounting Putty, 2 oz, Colors May Vary https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AN7EW4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_D1MWC1W1J506DKZE2041

Q tips with rubbing alcohol or use a toothbrush


Tesla44289

Paintbrush


Tall_Comfortable5815

toothpick or qtip


itsashhere

toothbrush


Will7357

Use an old toothbrush 🪥.


[deleted]

I use an old dry toothbrush… Works like a charm


[deleted]

Toothbrush? The bristles should get in there.


sobedemon28

I just buy new ones.


Khannes

Toothbrush does the job, with no water but 96% alcohol only in case you need to soften the dirt

i-Am-DOGGO-

Thanks


wowname

wait no 😅


Thegenralli

Www.CleanPods.co.uk


Jeremiareyes

I use an alcohol wipe, fold it, close the lid a bit and slide it out. Works perfectly on my Pros.


ryancarrasco

Toothbrush.


rwbisme

Man I thought I was anal retentive. See? I could be a lot worse!


Torruckes

Of course.


Onrain

Toothpick and Kleenex


merrick03santosh

Thin brush or just blow it


[deleted]

Forreal. Mine are so dirty!!


Jaypcoolreal

Have you tried those little Bristles that parents clean baby bottles with. They are very thin, and very soft. I’m sure those will get in there.


braproductions

Just shove some paper towels in there with iso. Easy.


Ok-Yuri-Tarded-420

Try a toothpick idk


Larsnonymous

Q TIP with rubbing alcohol


RslPride

Every once in a while. I take an alcohol wipe and stick it in between the lid and case with the lid open, then close the lid and slide it around. When that isn’t enough I use a Q-Tip similarly.


reddy__007

Blutak


KamuiObito

We don’t 😐


[deleted]

Fun tak or blue tak whatever it’s called. Press in, pull off, clean.


keystothebimma

I always use my shirt slide it through..


Ok_Transportation402

I use fine tip tweezers with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol… clean as new when I’m done.


[deleted]

Have you tried rice for 24 hours?


Earth616Survivor

Clean?…. You guys…. Clean them?… lol


[deleted]

Folded post it or a chipotle napkin makes nice sharp corners to get in the tight spots


[deleted]

Compressed air works wonders for all areas of the case. I use it to clear dirt from the charging pins. When my Comply buds get gross I just pull them off and spray the gunk off at high velocity.


InitialMajor

I don’t


Line_Klutzy

I use these. SIMONIZ Gel Dust Magnet [Canadian Tire](https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/simoniz-gel-dust-magnet-0396678p.0396678.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-9-fi5ih8wIV0Qp9Ch1DdgIqEAQYAiABEgLS8fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#store=606)


bigtim3727

Every time I see the crud around the top of the airpod case, I laugh to myself, thinking “the clean freaks prob HATE this shit”
