Easy! Throw them in the washer like any pair of socks. I let them air dry. They come out just like new.

Wash them by hand and hang them up to dry. The packaging has instructions also.

Wash them in a lingerie bag in your washing machine, cool water. Then air dry.

I usually put them in a zip up lingerie bag and wash them on gentle and then lay them out to dry... I have no issues

They are meant to be worn at night while you sleep. So unless you wear them over very dirty feet or walk around barefoot in them, there is no need. They eventually wear out from age, and then you just replace them.

has anyone tried these to help heal/prevent pressure sores in bedridden people?

Keep 'em clean and they should last much longer. I'm at the 6 month point right now and they are still working really well.

I used a mixture of food grade mineral oil and beeswax. Keeps them waterproof for about a month at a time but depends on how often/hard you scrub them clean.

For the various attachments I have just used Soft Soap and water, and a toothbrush with soft bristles. For the actual device. I just use a damp cloth where needed. The device usually does not get very dirty.

I wash by hand as well and I find no difficulty with keeping them clean and looking new. I just squeeze the handle a few times while washing to ensure I get under the scooper clean.

I would wash them with dish soap and rinse in very hot water, let them air dry. If you are worried about bacteria, boil water and dip the cloth end in to sterilize.

Put them in a covered jar and place a damp paper towel on them in a cool, dark place. That will help keep them. Some people wrap them individually in plastic to keep them airtight but I think the former works better. Hope this helps!

What a great idea!!! They were very clean when I got them -- but I do recommend just wiping them out with a micro-fiber cloth (switching out for another clean one often) to make sure any dust is out. Then they won't be wet when you put the M&Ms; in.

I would use just a damp cloth to wipe them clean. I will say they wipe clean easily!

Warm water and dish detergent like dawn. I usually let mine soak for a bit. Be sure and let them dry out really well before putting them back in your ears.

I think disposable hygiene wipes are your best bet. (Probably easier to deal with, too.) A wet washcloth would be too heavy to remain secure.

I clean them after every use with a toothpick and by tapping them to loosen the dust (outside). They don't wash well. To me water just make the dust cake on the filter. The toothpick method is a little time-consuming but works for me. They will last 3 or 4 times of vacuuming the entire house.

I just scrub them, then soak in bleach water. Then a soak in regular water.

Just pour out any oils. wipe out and wash with soap and water. Mine still are as white as they were when I bought them. do not put in dishwasher.

You can try buffing them with a very fine file in one direction from base to tip, then wipe them clean with an alcohol swab. Good Luck!

Just use a damp cloth and if it gets extra dirty, use the hose on it.. It will clean up real nice..
