Clean outside only.: You only need to clean the outside of your ears when you bathe. Think of the inside of your ear as a "self-cleaning oven." wax will accumulate in the ear bowl. When it does, just wipe it away. Don't use swabs or any kind of pointed things to explore, itch, or clean your ear canal. Lgromkomd.
