How often do you clean your earbuds, and how do you do it? I wipe them after each use but that's really all I do. I'm not sure if I should be doing anything else.

Do you wipe them with a disinfecting agent or just a dry cloth? I put a little bit of a vinegar/water mixture on a cloth so it's damp but not wet and use that.

I only wipe mine off after I travel. If it's just me using them and they're not something that can make me sick, then I don't really see the point of cleaning them on a regular basis.

I do not really clean mine, especially on a daily or weekly basis. I normally just wipe them down with a dry cloth. I wouldn't want to accidentally ruin them by using a wet or dampened cloth.

I wipe mine down with an alcohol pad from time to time. Alcohol dries really fast so you don't really have to worry about them getting wet, and it kills any germs that might get in there.

Thanks for all the input. I really like the alcohol idea since it dries so quickly. I think I will start doing that on occasion.
