How to clean AirPods
To clean the charging case, use a soft, dry cloth. If you want, you can slightly dampen it with isopropyl alcohol. Be careful around the charging port, and ensure that it does not get any liquid inside it. Also, make sure it’s fully dry before you use it. If you see build-up inside the port, use a soft-bristled, dry brush to brush it off gently.
To clean the ear tips of your AirPods, pull them off from the buds and rinse them in clean water. Ensure the water doesn’t have soap or a household cleaner mixed in it. Then, dry them using a clean, lint-free cloth. Be careful to dry them before you attach them to your AirPods.
If you wish to specifically clean the mic and speaker meshes, use a dry cotton swab.
Two general things to keep in mind while cleaning your AirPods or the charging case are to 1) never run them under water and 2) never use sharp or abrasive materials to clean them.
