If you wear earplugs to bed, you’ve likely noticed that they can accumulate dirt and stains from your hair products, sweat, and even skin oils. If you take medications, you may have noticed that the residue from them can also end up on your earplugs, leaving them discolored and grimy. Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to get rid of those medicine stains.
Step 1: Soak Your Earplugs
The first step is to soak your earplugs in warm water with a few drops of laundry detergent. This will help to break down any residue on the earplugs, making them easier to clean. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Rinse Off Earplugs
Once you’ve soaked your earplugs, rinse them off in cold water. This will help to remove any remaining residue. Make sure to use a gentle motion so as not to damage delicate material of your earplugs.
Step 3: Air Dry the Earplugs
After rinsing the earplugs off, you’ll need to air dry them. Place them on a towel and let them sit until completely dry. Ensure that the towel is completely dry before placing the earplugs on it, as any traces of moisture can cause mildew or mold to form.
Step 4: Repeat as Needed
Depending on the severity of the staining, you may need to repeat the soaking and rinsing process until all of the residue has been removed from the earplugs. You may also want to use a gentle brush to help remove any stubborn stains.
Conclusion
Cleaning medicine stains on your earplugs can be tricky, but following these steps will help you get them looking as good as new. Just remember to use a gentle hand while cleaning, and don’t forget to air dry your earplugs before using them once again.
