Remove the silicone plugs from the Skullcandy headphones by pulling them up from the speakers. They are not threaded, so do not twist or try to unscrew. Gently clean the center holes with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol. Do not push the swab all the way into the hole, as it could stretch the plug and ruin the shape.

• If you do not have alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide, a mild solution of dish soap and water work well. If you use soap, use it sparingly and be sure to clean the earphones to avoid residue.
• Do not clean the headphones while they are connected to any electronic device. If liquid falls inside the cover while they are connected, it may cause a short circuit.
