Google’s Cleaning Steps for Pixel Buds Pro 2 mesh to optimize audio performance.

Cleaning Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 Mesh

• Google provides detailed instructions on cleaning the rear vent mesh of the Pixel Buds Pro 2, emphasizing that accumulated earwax, dirt, and dust can significantly impact audio quality.

• The recommended cleaning process involves using a soft toothbrush, micellar water (for its ability to attract both water and oil), and regular water, gently brushing the mesh in circular motions for 15 seconds, repeating the process several times and rinsing the brush thoroughly between steps.

• Google cautions against using Q-tips, detergents, sprays, or alcohol, advising to let the earbuds air dry completely for up to two hours after cleaning and to avoid cleaning while charging; these instructions can also be applied to deep cleaning other mesh areas of the earbuds.

Google has provided detailed instructions on cleaning the “rear vent mesh” of the Pixel Buds Pro 2 to maintain audio quality. This specific mesh is located on the top of the earbuds when they are worn, distinct from the mesh near the ‘G’ logo. Accumulation of earwax, dirt, dust, and other debris can significantly impact audio performance, leading to audio issues or unwanted noise.

The cleaning process requires an extra soft toothbrush, two cups, and micellar water, a product designed to attract both water and oily substances, commonly used for makeup removal. Micellar water can be purchased online or at local drugstores.

Google’s step-by-step cleaning instructions include:

1. Pour regular water into one cup and micellar water into another, ensuring there is enough liquid to dip the toothbrush.
2. Saturate the toothbrush bristles in the micellar water.
3. Hold the earbud and brush the rear vent mesh in circular motions for 15 seconds.
4. Blot the earbud on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
5. Repeat the brushing and drying process twice.
6. Rinse the toothbrush by dipping it in regular water, making sure to clean it from any earwax.
7. Perform a final brushing of the mesh for 15 seconds.
8. Blot the earbud again and let it air dry for up to 2 hours before using it again.

Google advises against using Q-tips, detergents, sprays, or alcohol for cleaning, as these can leave residues or push debris further into the mesh. Additionally, it is recommended not to clean the earbuds while they are charging.

These cleaning instructions can also be used to deep clean other meshes on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 without causing damage.
