Apple’s AirPods don’t come cheap. It’s higher-tier AirPods Pro are significantly pricier, warranting an eye-watering US$249. It therefore makes sense to take proper care of the premium earphones in order to stretch that dollar.
The good news is maintaining them is pretty simple. Most importantly, don’t get your AirPods wet—never run them under water or let liquid get into their openings. Instead, use a soft, dry lint-free cloth to wipe them down, according to Apple’s support page. The microphones and speaker meshes can be cleaned with a dry cotton swab.
If the earphones are caught with liquid that could cause stains or damage, such as soaps, oil, sunscreen and perfumes, dampen a piece of cloth with fresh water and then dry them with a second cloth that’s gentle, dry and free of lint.
While the wireless charging caes are built to last longer, you’ll want to maintain them too to preserve their lifespans. Wipe your case down with a soft, dry lint-free cloth, dampened with isopropyl alcohol if necessary. Stay away from abrasive materials.
What to watch out for when cleaning the battery case is any liquid that might enter its charging ports. To avoid scratching your Lightning connector, use a clean, dry soft-bristled brush when removing debris.
