Anyone with Apple AirPods must know the three BEST cleansing hacks

AIRPODS may look great but they will develop into dirty like anything over time.

Whether it’s sweat, ear wax or other grime, you must make sure you are cleansing yours properly – and never damaging them.

Listed below are three essential cleansing tricks to get your AirPods back into shiny white condition.

Running under water is an absolute no no

It should go without saying that water is basically not an excellent idea.

The AirPods Pro and AirPods third generation are water and sweat resistant but usually are not water or sweat proof.

But Apple has made it quite clear so there is no such thing as a doubt in its own guidance: “Don’t run AirPods or AirPods Pro under water.”

As a substitute, the firm says it’s best to use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

Do use cotton buds

Cotton buds are an important solution to clean parts near the microphone and speaker meshes without damaging anything.

Apple actually suggests you retain it dry though.

And irrespective of how tough something could be stuck to it, you actually mustn’t use any sharp objects or abrasive materials to scrape stuff off.

Coping with stains

Apple specifically mentions soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, perfume, solvent, detergent, acids or acidic foods, insect repellent, sun cream, oil or hair dye as the numerous varieties of liquids that may stain or damage your AirPods.

If you happen to’ve by accident exposed yours to any of them, the most effective thing to do is wipe them clean with a cloth barely dampened with fresh water.

Dry them immediately after with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

Be certain they’re completely dry before putting them back within the charging case.

And do not use them again until they’re fully dried up.
