warm soapy water works pretty good for me, I don't know that I would use alcohol on them, might shorten the life of them!edit: as stated by another person, not much soap is needed. Also, I clean my ears with q-tips daily also, but my ears produce massive amounts of wax for some reason, and I also work long days and keep my earbuds in for 6-12hrs a day. I haven't noticed any degradation in quality of noise cancellation, and have washed my tips at least a couple times already... I'm sure at some point that would be an issue, but I just wash them gently then roll them in a towel lightly squishing them as I roll them so as to help dry them out as quickly as possible... anyways, enjoy! warm soapy water works pretty good for me, I don't know that I would use alcohol on them, might shorten the life of them!edit: as stated by another person, not much soap is needed.

No tips for cleaning. They are good for about two months. After dirt and earwax builds up in them, they will never have the same noise cancellation again. I've tried. You will have to change them to another pair that's in the pack. By all means you can still use the old pair but the noise cancellation will not be as good.

I do not see a need for rubbing alcohol unless you believe your tips came in contact with some sort of germ. Earwax is supposed to be antibacterial. I'd be concerned with how rubbing alcohol might degrade the memory foam faster.

I have only wiped them with a moist cloth and long ago I have washed them with just water little to no soap. Your best bet is to replace them. My experience is that the memory foam characteristic diminishes well before needing to clean the foam tips. I use q-tips/cotton swabs in my ears daily so it's rare that I see earwax on my foam tips. I imagine that if you are against using q-tips or if your ears produce lots of earwax, you may be inclined to clean the foam tips more.

I would use a gentle dish soap or maybe a spray household cleaner if they're really grimy. Just don't let any liquid run down inside!

Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to it and run it for a few mins; then pour any residual alcohol out. Try not to use water as it will likely leave water spots.

I would clean them with rubbing alcohol . Either wipe them down or let them soak in a big pot with an alcohol / water solution . I would have a cup connected to the actual pump and pump up the water/ alcohol solution to clean the gun portion of it. Hope this helps :)

I had the same problem, I started rinsing them in warm water while they were still in the cleaning tray thingy, that seemed to help me.

A bristle brush and hot water does the trick for me. I use mild detergent and haven't seen anything go wrong yet. Although my mom said it's better to use lemon juice to clean the grease instead, but then again she is a little more old school than me.

I have spot cleaned them with baking soda and water. Also with the upholstery attachment on my carpet shampooer.

Try using a cotton swab and a little bit of rubbing alcohol to clean it out. And then wash the water canister in really hot soapy water. Rinse out really well and then diffuse just hot water a couple times before adding any other oils. I hope this helps.

its normal for it to have a thin layer of water on the bottom when its done...if it has more than that then empty and clean the metal part on the bottom with a qtip...rubbing alcohol works well... barely dip the qtip in the alcohol and wipe the metal part with it...hope this helps...

Hello! Clean this item with water or PDX Anti Bacterial Toy Cleaner. Hope this helps.

I did not see any instructions for cleaning, so I assume they want you to buy replacements. Since they are foam, i simply rinse mine out in warm water, towel dry them, and allow to air dry. That seems to work fine.

if needed hot water rinse..rubbing alcohol poured over them or soaked in it

I used straight dish washing detergent and a non scratch scouring pad! I have also heard rubbing alcohol will work although I have not tried it. Good luck! I love love these pans!

I'm not sure of the right way but I use a soft cloth & gentle soap & water. Nothing too harsh or with alcohol in the cleaner.
