Nguyen-Huynh, you might want to check with your primary care provider’s office to see if there is a nurse who can do it for you. If it does not and blocks your ear, put 2 to 3 drops of medical grade olive or almond oil in your ear 3 to 4 times a day.Soda takes a bit longer to work than hydrogen peroxide, and you may find it’s not quite as good as oil as softening hardened wax. That said, this a product that is not made for skin—it can burn and potentially cause allergic irritation or contact dermatitis, so be careful. The NHS recommends using a dropper while lying your head on one side for a few minutes to let the oil work its way through your ear canal. You can use the bottle to keep your ears clean with warm water once the treatment has cleared out your excess ear wax. Washing regularly should be enough to keep your ears clean, you can also use a damp washcloth to gently clean the outside of your ears.

If, along with flaky earwax, you are experiencing any itching or inflammation in your ear, do consult your GP, who will determine whether or not you need treatment.

Higher tread areas such as door entrances and hallways can appear duller through the course of years. If for some reason you experience a major spill or tip of the pot, you may notice that your wax has cooled and hardened on a surface. Suitable for all fabrics, it’s a product that is sure to effortlessly remove any grime that has built up.

Some also come with special syringe-style applicators to help get the solution safely into your ear and deliver a measured amount with each squirt. Multi-purpose cleaners such as washing up liquids and detergents are highly detrimental to the finished surface and is not recommended to be used as discolouration or staining may be possible. Factors that can affect your amount of earwax include previous ear surgery or trauma, recurrent ear infections, or wearing hearing aidsor deep earplugs. Use a dropper to apply a few drops of olive oil into your ear and stay in that position for 5-10 minutes. Earwax varies in colour, consistency and smell from person to person, and there really is no ‘normal’.The cause of very light or even white earwax is most probably down to the fact that it contains skin picked up from a dry and flaky ear canal. If you have a persistent problem with earwax your GP may recommend ear irrigation, also known as syringing. NICE recommends that ear-wax removal services should be available at your local GP surgery or a similar community setting.
