To clean your AirPod Pros effectively, focus on the ear tips and the AirPods themselves, using appropriate methods to avoid damage.
Cleaning the Ear Tips
- Remove the Ear Tips: Gently pull off the ear tips from each AirPod Pro.
- Rinse with Water: Rinse the ear tips with clean water. Do not use soap, detergents, or other household cleaners. These can damage the silicone.
- Dry Thoroughly: Wipe the ear tips with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching them.
Cleaning the AirPods Pro
- Use a Soft, Dry, Lint-Free Cloth: Wipe down the AirPods Pro with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
- Clean the Microphone and Speaker Mesh: If there's debris in the microphone or speaker mesh, use a soft-bristled brush (like a clean, dry toothbrush) to gently loosen and remove it.
- Avoid Liquids: Keep liquids away from the openings. Do not submerge your AirPods Pro in water or any cleaning solution.
- Stubborn Grime: If necessary, slightly dampen the cloth with isopropyl alcohol. Be extremely cautious to prevent any liquid from entering the openings.
Things to Avoid
- Sharp Objects: Do not use sharp objects to clean your AirPods Pro, as you can damage them.
- Abrasive Materials: Avoid using abrasive cloths or materials that can scratch the surface.
- Excessive Moisture: Prevent moisture from entering any openings on the AirPods Pro.
By following these steps, you can effectively clean your AirPod Pros and maintain their performance and hygiene.
