In one example, we describe a method and apparatus for cleaning the ear canal of cerumen contaminants, dust, and particulates. That includes a handle and replaceable tips, a combination of a flared design and solid base plate attached to the bottom of the tips, limiting the excessive insertion of the tip into the deep area of ear canal that could contact eardrum, which can seriously damage the eardrum and hearing capabilities. The handle has a slot in the front in which a tip can snap into, and as the whole system is secured together, the user can operate the system by spinning the handle, using fingers, e.g., in a clockwise direction, as the user proceeds to insert the tip in the ear canal. Different variations are also presented here.
