How do I clean my earplugs?Updated 3 months ago
Cleaning your Loop earplugs is super simple, though some of our earplugs need a little extra care.
For Loop Quiet ™ 2, they’re made from durable silicone, which makes them super easy to clean. You can either submerge them in water for a quick rinse or simply use a damp cloth with a bit of soapy water. For a deeper clean, detach the ear tips and wash them separately.
For models with special filters like Loop Engage ™ 2, Loop Experience™ 2, and Loop Switch™ 2, we do not recommend submerging them, as this can damage the internal components. Instead, remove the silicone ear tips and clean them separately in water. To clean the earplugs themselves, gently wipe the outer part with a damp cloth.
For foam tips, just give them a gentle wipe – avoid water and detergents, as they can damage the material and reduce their effectiveness.
For Loop Dream™, they’re made from durable silicone and foam, so they’re easy to clean. Just follow these simple steps:
- Remove the ear tips from your earplugs before cleaning.
- Gently wipe down the ear tips and the body with a damp cloth and soapy water.
- Make sure everything is completely dry before refitting the ear tips.
- Avoid submerging your earplugs in water and keep them away from harsh chemicals and sharp objects.
You should replace your Loop Dream ear tips every 100 nights or uses, as the memory foam material may lose its shape over time. The foam is designed to follow the shape of your ear canal to reduce pressure for greater all-night sleep comfort. However, after repeated use, it may not seal as effectively, which can reduce performance.
To keep your earplugs performing their best, we recommend replacing your ear tips every 100 nights or uses.
General Tips:
- Steer clear of chemicals and sharp objects when cleaning your earplugs.
- To keep everything fresh, we suggest changing your ear tips every 3-6 months. You can find replacement multipacks on our website. Except for Loop Dream™, where the ear tips should be replaced every 100 nights or uses.
