This teeny-tiny washing machine will help you clean what?

Don’t you sometimes wish that you could just toss your earbuds into the washing machine to get them clean? It would be so much easier than trying to do it all by hand (because let’s face it, that never gets them truly clean). If this is you, then you’re in luck — a teeny-tiny washing machine for earbuds may be on the way.

It’s currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, which comes with its own risks and is no guarantee the device will actually make it to production and into the hands of consumers. If it does, though, the Cardlax Earbuds Washer sounds like it could be a fun little tool.

There is still a little bit of elbow grease involved, as you first have to clean out the openings of the earbuds with the included brush tool. But after that, you just have to pop them into the device, which looks a lot like a top-loading washing machine in miniature, and away it goes. From there, the Cardlax uses a motorized cleaning brush, some cleaning solution and a polisher to make the earbuds squeaky clean. While the campaign specifically uses Apple’s AirPods as an example, it claims that the device will work with 99 percent of other true wireless earbuds as well.
