Clean your ears without Q-tips

Most experts agree that using Q-tips to clean your ears can actually put your ears at risk. If you dig too far, you can easily damage your ear drum. In this article I will show you a safe and easy way to clean your ears without Q-tips

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

First clean the outside thoroughly with a moistened warm wash cloth. Use your pinky in conjunction with the wash cloth to get in and clean all the crevasses you can.
Step 2

Using an ear syringe or similar, fill your ear canal with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. You may feel tiny bubbles popping in your ear from the peroxide, this is normal and it lets you know that it is working. Leave in your ear for about ten minutes
Step 3

Now that you have let the peroxide do its job, it is time to rinse out all of the ear wax left as best as possible. You can do this with an ear syringe or just by simply letting a stream of water trickle it’s way in and out of your ear canal. Use a clean and dry wash cloth then to dry your ears.
