How to clean your AirPod meshes

2. Dip the toothbrush in the cup of micellar water until the bristles are fully saturated.

3. Hold your AirPod with the mesh facing up.

4. Brush the mesh in circles for about 15 seconds.

5. Turn over your AirPod and dab the cleaned area on the paper towel. Making sure the paper towel makes good contact the mesh.

7. To rinse off the micellar water, rinse the brush with distilled water, then repeat steps 1-5 with distilled water for each mesh that you cleaned.
