What You’ll Need

  • Cotton swabs
  • Cleaning solution (rubbing alcohol or mild soap and water)
  • Soft cloths

Steps to Cleaning the Stain

  1. Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol or mild soap and water to gently scrub away at the stain.
  2. If stain persists, use a soft cloth dampened with same cleaning solution to make larger, circular motions over the stain. This should help to loosen stain and make it easier to remove.
  3. Continue scrubbing and cleaning until the stain is gone.
  4. Once the stain is removed, dry the headphones with a clean, dry cloth to prevent any moisture buildup.

Tips for Preventing Future Stains

  • Clean your headphones regularly with a mild cleaning solution and soft cloth.
  • Be careful not to get any products, such as hairspray, or anything oily on your headphones.
  • Be sure to store your headphones in a clean, dry place when not in use.
