Earbud Tips: how to clean and restore the grip?

[Jutah]

Despite I have no problem with the seal test, I noticed that after 3 weeks the tips I use became slippery. During the workout, head down, i feel them not so solid.

the other tips are pristine and they are very grippy.

The ear wax is obviously the culprit. I’ve tried to clean them with a wet cloth but they’re yet slippery.

any suggestion?

Unsurprisingly Apple has an AirPods cleaning guide in the support documents on their website:

How to clean your AirPods - Apple Support

General and ongoing cleaning can help you maintain your AirPods.

Don't forget to meticulously clean your hands and ears before you re-insert the clean earbud tips.

Best of luck.

thank for the answer.
I’ve already read the page, but it saying nothing at all about cleaning the tips, just give some guidelines about the water management.

I’ve tried rubbing a cloth with alcohol, then cleaning well with water.

A bit better but the original grip has gone. So weird.
