How to clean ears properly
I know this sounds really, really stupid but how do I clean the insides of my ears properly? I read on a Q-Tip box that you aren't suppose to insert the Q-Tip into the ear canal. How do you clean ears then if you cannot put the Q-Tip in your ear? I can't figure out another way to do it and I feel stupid! Can someone just explain this to me?

There is this tool for scraping the internal part of the ear. Be careful, though. They are called ear picks. Sterilize them after every use if you get a metal one, as opposed to a wooden one.

You aren't recommended to use Q-tips because they can push the wax back into your ear, and your hearing can be effected. It also can take out too much wax because your ears need wax for hearing.
They recommend buying an ear syringe. You can get one at any drug/grocery store. Mix water and hydrogen peroxide, let the syringe soak some up, put it into an ear, wait 20 minutes, and irrogate your ear with warm water. Repeat on the other side of the ear. When you rinse, you can see some wax come out.
To remove chlorinated water inside your ears you can use Swimmer's Ear or mix rubbing alcohol and water together, and put that in your as well. Wait a minute, and irrogate.

You could clean your ears by using a soft towel, a cotton one. Wet your towel and softly put it in your ear. Do not send it in your ear too far or you ear will get damaged. You are NOT supposed to put any solid thing into your ear....unless doctors reccomend something. I hope this works! there are also ear cleaning earbuds available ;)

Huh? Well thats strange.
Well I would say wash your ears thoroughly while taking a headwash. Hot water, steam and shampoo/soap really makes your ears feel sqeeky clean.
I don't understand how your supposed to clean the wax out of your ears if you can't insert it into there though..... oh well.
