With so many people working remotely, it’s no surprise that folks are used to having headsets on or earbuds in. With increased use, these devices naturally get dirtier than they would otherwise. Let’s take a look at how you might go about cleaning them.
Unsurprisingly, the human ear can get pretty nasty. Between all of the sweat and earwax they suffer through, your earbuds can accumulate all sorts of bacteria that could potentially put your health at risk. You have to keep your earbuds clean if you want to keep this from happening. There are different methods of cleaning headsets or earbuds, depending on the type you use. We have put together how you can clean both over-ear headphones and your in-ear headphones and earbuds.
Gather your cleaning supplies:
First, check to see if the earpieces in your headphones can be removed. Some brands do this just so you can clean them more easily. This isn’t necessary, but you’ll need to be more careful if you can’t remove them.
Once you have your supplies, follow this process:
After the headphones have dried completely, you can safely reassemble them and put them to good (clean) use.

If your headphones have foam covers, they can also be removed and cleaned with alcohol, or with soap and water.
After this is done, follow this process:
We hope you use this information to keep your headphones nice and clean. Let us know how it works out for you!
