I have some headphones, the type which fit into your ear. Does anybody have any suggestions on the best way to clean the foam on the earpieces?

Thanks

    Warm water and a very little detergent. Take them off the earphones first!! Dry between pieces of kitchen towel.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Thanks. Wasn't sure if you were supposed to remove them or not

    Sometimes when you take them off, or when replacing them they may stretch or rip. If so you can buy new ones quite cheaply. A pack of three from Maplins is £2.99
