You could also try cotton swabs soaked with baby oil. That is how I keep mine and my kids ears clean :D
I clean my ears once a day.
Why are you complaining? Now you don't have to hear Avril Lavigne imitating a couple of mooses having sex on TV every five bloody minutes.
*starts mouthing mutely to make TRL(R) think he's deaf*
Maybe a 3-4 times a week.. I tend to forget cleaning them.
I clean them almost every night.
You could always try washing yourself, showers are--Oh crap someones said that joke...
Or when the liquid in my ear starts to annoy me.Quote:

The reason you use oil is because wax is non-polar and water is polar so it does not work. There is a certain degree of attraction between non-polar molecules that allow the oil to break down the wax (in other words "like dissolves like").Quote:

>>> The perfect tool to remore all the dirt from your ear..
Cotton swabs are pretty useless.
I usually clean my ears every morning. Sometimes I forget when I'm extra tired or rushing....
i swab them with q-tips after every bath, but i had to use wax removal at least once.
