Quick and clean ear cleaning: the earwax sticks to the ear cleaner, allowing the ear canal to be cleaned quickly, easily and thoroughly in a very short time. The tool is easy to use and is also pleasantly warm.
The cleaning spoon performed best in our test. Unfortunately, we were unable to remove any dirt with the cleaning spiral or the cleaning spiral. The cleaning spoon is raised at the front so that dirt can be specifically removed from the ear wall. The cleaning loop can also be used to remove dirt from the ear wall. Debris in the entire ear can be removed with the cleaning spiral.
The ear cleaners should be cleaned and possibly disinfected before and after use to ensure that no dirt gets into the inside of the ear. Cleaning is quick and uncomplicated.
It is also important to clean the ear gently and carefully.
