Clean the ear plugs regularly using warm water and mild soap. Dry them completely before use to prevent bacterial growth. For a deeper clean, soak them in a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Store them in a ventilated case to keep them dry and odor-free. Replace them periodically as over time, the material can degrade and develop a persistent smell.
