For iPhone users with AirPods, Belkin’s new cleaning kit safely removes earwax buildup and restores acoustic performance without damaging it. Designed for first, second and third generation AirPods, but not AirPods Pro, the cleaning kit includes a brush, wax softener, cleaning gel and microfiber cloth.

The kit includes everything needed to bring AirPods back to life in four simple steps. It starts with the application of a wax softener, using a brush to gently scrub the mesh components, then using a tacky gel to remove leftover wax and debris.

The AirPods Cleaning Kit is available for purchase from Belkin for $14.99.
