Want to keep your AirPods clean and ready to use at all times? Apple has provided the right way to clean your headphones in a simple and effective way using readily available materials! All you need is micellar water and a soft toothbrush.
Let's take a look at the materials you'll need:
1
Micellar water
If you’re a woman, you probably know what micellar water is, which Apple recommends for cleaning your headphones. If you’re a man, there’s a good chance you don’t. But it’s simple: It’s water that contains a molecule called a micelle, which is a complex molecule made up of skin-cleansing substances. Micelles have unique properties: a hydrophilic head that’s water-soluble, and a lipophilic tail that attracts oily substances and doesn’t mix with water.
Apple recommends that the micellar water contains PEG-6 like the one found in Bioderma or Neutrogena products.

Distilled water or any clean water
3
Soft toothbrush, preferably for children
4
two small cups
5
paper towel
Let's start the cleaning process!
You will clean each mesh in your earphones three times with micellar water and then rinse them with distilled water. Don't worry, this process will only take five minutes and your earphones will be ready to dry in just two hours.
Start by adding a little micellar water to one of the cups and immerse your toothbrush in it until the bristles are completely wet.
Hold your speaker with the mesh facing up and begin cleaning it in gentle circular motions for just 15 seconds.
After completing the initial cleaning, dry the mesh with a paper towel to ensure that any liquid residue is removed.
Repeat this process two more times to ensure perfect cleaning of the speaker grilles.
Next, it's time to rinse the meshes with distilled water in the same way you did with the micellar water. Dip the brush again, but this time in the distilled water, and scrub the meshes in gentle circular motions for another 15 seconds before drying them with a paper towel.
Finally, allow the earbuds to dry completely for at least two hours before placing them in the charging case or using them again.
With these simple and fun steps you can keep your AirPods clean and ready to listen to your favorite music without any problems! Try this method today and see the difference for yourself!
