How to deep clean your AirPods like a Pro! The ultimate guide by Phone Fix Craft

We have received many questions on how we clean AirPods, so here's the full video with explanations.
This is an educational video. This method always worked for us, but we have never checked if someone with no experience would get the same results. Please don't try this on a good working pair of AirPods, and do this at your own risk.

To anyone finding this, I was skeptical of using that much liquid (I used isopropyl instead), but it works great and the air pods are 100% fine. Fantastic tutorial!

Oh my god thank you SO MUCH! I have tried SO MANY cleaning techniques and nothing worked until I tried SPECIFICALLY windex and a paint brush like in the video. 2 YEARS WITHOUT FULLY FUNCTIONING AIRPODS. And now they work like new. You are a hero without a cape. I can enjoy listening to music again.

Applying some light heat very briefly will melt the ear wax down enough to clean it out if it is stuck in stubborn places! Great video!!

Bro, you’re a lifesaver!! AirPods sound as good as new, the vacuum was a good idea. I’ve cleaned it with alcohol before but didn’t think of using a vacuum to get the liquid out.

For anyone looking for a simple way to do this at home, you can very easily do all of these steps with windex and a toothbrush! And anyone doubting the ligitimasy of this video or these comments... DONT! This man is underated and he earned his sub from me! Great video man!

To ensure the AirPods don’t get sucked up into the vacuum, put a think sock or nylons over the opening.

I kept getting notifications that I was blasting my AirPods too loud. Just cleaned them out using your method and realized why I had to play it so loud. They must have been clogged inside, your method worked great, you just saved me from buying new AirPods. Thank you!

This is the BEST airport cleaning tutorial hands down. Literally the only one that worked to clean mine. Fantastic job and awesome walk-through! Thank you so much because I thought mine were just shot and was about ready to buy more

Thank you so much for this. My left airpod was way quieter than my right. After I saw this video I just took a toothbrush and tried it and it just saved me a bunch of money!

[JeremiahHarpel]

Thank you so much! I searched for hours trying to find a way to safely clean out my AirPods. This was the only one that worked!

[LoveCountryMelody]

Thank you I was thinking I had to go get new ones. But I can here out of them so much better!!!!

[Nath]

Thank you so much this worked so well😭 absolutely no sound was coming out of the front AirPod speakers and I did this for about half an hour and they’re like brand new AirPods!

[matedicmo]

Thank you so much man! Guys feel free to try this on your airpods. My right one was softer and i tried this method but with alcohol and putted less liquid and you can dry it with ear stick. it worked so well that i even had to clean the left one because now the left one was softer.

[malkhazsurmanidze]

Thanks to your video, I tried the same method but with a toothbrush and peroxide and now my AirPods sound like new. I was going to buy new ones and thanks to your video I saved money👍👌🙏

[joewilliquette]

I use rubbing alcohol, a Qtip, and vacuum cleaner. I've used this method on my cell phone speakers for years. Works on ear pods too

[nmo]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve used a toothpick to clean out some of the more superficial wax in the past but this had a much bigger impact!

Sounds like new :)

[BluesJammer]

Thank you so much for the cleaning recommendations! I was about to throw away the airpods, and now I listen to music with the same pleasure as I used to :-)

[vertux]

You are the best man. Saved me like 200 Bucks for new Air Pods. My right one was extremely quiet. Cleand both of them with some alcohol and two brushes and they Sound is like factory new. Thanks a lot 👍🏼

[melvinof]

Thanks, helped me a lot. Left one was super quiet compared to right, this fixed it.

for those who are scared or doesnt have a small enough vacuum nozzle, you can use a straw and suck through it but be careful u might get a taste from the water and soap
