It has like- earwax in it. Does anyone have any solutions?

Have you tried things like cotton buds, tooth picks, pins/needles?

1) Use a Q-tip to clean out the ear piece.
2) Then use another Q-tip to clean out YOUR ear piece.
3) Repeat step 2 periodically to void needing to repeat step 1

Some sort of vacuum cleaner ?

Blue/white tack ?

You could try that green goop you buy to pick up the dirt between the keys on your keyboard.

Bristle brush attachment on a vacuum.

run it under some hot water. It'll melt the ear wax right away.







disclaimer: don't run your phone under any water. Just clean your ears more often.

Once you use the special removal tool its pretty easy. the hard part is finding that darn thing once its removed.

Q-tip? it's easier if you clean your ears with it before using the iPhone though.

I think I'll try the Q-tip dipped in alcohol and a small toothbrush to finish the job.

You guys provided some really good input! Thanks!

Squeaky clean!
