Best practice for cleaning the exterior of the microphones (dust, hair from wind muffs, dirt)? Can canned air be blown into canal or will it damage condensor mics? What kind of cleaner should be used?

Hi @Michael Cox,
Apologies for the delay.
For cleaning the exterior of the microphone, we recommend using a paper towel lightly dampened with warm water. Simply rub the paper towel over the silicone ear to remove dirt, dust, debris, hair, etc. Another option is to use double-sided tape or a lint roller. We do not recommend using any cleaners or solvents as this could damage the integrity of the silicone.
Avoid touching the microphone capsules inside the ear canal at all times. We do not recommend using canned air when cleaning. Blowing directly into the capsule could damage the diaphragm inside.
I hope this information helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
~Brian

What about disinfecting it after mouth sounds and ear licking? I can't rely on just using paper towel with warm water to get rid of any bacteria on the microphone.

Hi @Asmr ist,
If you wish to disinfect the microphone, we recommend using %90-%99 isopropyl rubbing alcohol. When cleaning, avoid contact with the center chassis enclosure and the screw posts that secure the ring to the ear. These parts are painted and could fade if consistently exposed to rubbing alcohol.
We also recommend avoiding any contact with the microphone capsules in the ear canals.
Thank you,
~Brian

Instead of 90-99% isopropyl rubbing alcohol, is it possible to use distilled water and a uv light wand instead?
