How to clean AirPods?

Apple recommends using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean your AirPods or AirPods Pro. The microphone and speaker meshes can be cleaned with a dry cotton swab. Disinfectants such as Clorox wipes or 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes can be used on the exterior surface, but make sure not to get any liquid in the openings.

Similarly, Apple recommends using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean your AirPod case. Clorox wipes or 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes can also be used provided they are damp and you take care to avoid getting any liquid in the openings.

You can use a (clean and dry) soft-bristled brush to remove debris from the Lightning connector on your AirPods case, but you should avoid sticking anything in the charging port to prevent damage.
