When I'm just back from exercise, or work, and when I've used the earpiece they get really dirty or oily. After I've bathed I don't want to use that same earpiece again without cleaning it properly.

Usually I'd take a tissue paper and just clean it.

Is there a proper way to clean the earpieces?

    Ear-piece to what? Blue-tooth? Cellphone? Wig? Hearing aid?

    Not really computer hardware, this is a very borderline question, normally you don't find questions about just the headphones or earphones on a site like Super User. Thus why I closed.

For Earbuds

  • Use a gentle cleaner, like soap and warm water. No need to go too heavy-duty here; try a mix of dishwashing detergent and water. (To wipe! Not to dunk!)

  • Use a gentle cloth with just a small amount of the soap mixture. Too much soap could leave a residue on your earbuds, and too much water, well that goes without saying.

  • If there's a lot of dirt or dust in the metal part of your earbuds, try brushing them with a dry toothbrush to dislodge the dust.

  • Take a little rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. Barely wet the q-tip and clean the earbuds.

Also if you have just done some form of exercise and are really dirty then take a bath first! =>
