Solution #1: Isopropyl Alcohol

Using isopropyl alcohol is an effective way to get rid of rouge stains. Simply dampen a cloth with isopropyl alcohol and gently rub it on the stained parts. It’s important to use a small amount of alcohol and to make sure that the cloth isn’t too wet to prevent liquid from getting inside your earplug. After a few seconds, you should see the stains come off.

Solution #2: Detergent and Water

Another option for cleaning earplugs is to use a mild detergent and water. Start by running your earplugs under lukewarm water to remove any surface dirt. Then make a light detergent solution - about one teaspoon of dish soap or laundry detergent for every cup of warm water. Soak the earplugs for about 10 minutes and then scrub away remaining dirt and stains with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Solution #3: Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide

This method is best used if the stains are deep-seated, but be careful not to use too much because it could irritate your skin. To start, make a paste with two tablespoons of baking soda and one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. Next, apply the paste to the earbud and let it sit for a few minutes. Finally, use a damp cloth to wipe the earbud clean.

Conclusion

Cleaning rouge stains from your earplugs doesn’t have to be a challenge. Using isopropyl alcohol, detergent and water, or baking soda and hydrogen peroxide can help you remove stubborn stains and keep your ear buds looking good as new.
