AirSquares Earbud Cleaning Putty

Got nasty earwax in your airpods? Our personal electronic devices eventually accumulate dirt, grim, wax, and other debris over time.

Just remove a small piece of putty and press it onto the earbud speaker grille or opening and the tackiness will pull away earwax and other gunk that's built up around the corners. Because the putty can be shaped, it's also great to remove unsightly grime from computer mice and keyboards, knobs and switches, hearing aid, game controllers, and many hard to reach areas of your electronic devices.
