Can you clean the tips (ie wipe with rubbing alcohol) or do you have to have replacements for each use (like they do at the doctors office)?

I would guess that you could. They only send you 3 different sized tips so I'm guessing that you can clean them and reuse them.

Do you mean the memory foam tips? If so, please twist and pull gently and the tips will come off. All units now ship with a small amount of lubricant placed on the tips during manufacturing. This will make removing the tips much easier. If you have had a problem in the past, please contact us and we will send you new tips free of charge.Thanks, The AirBuds Team

I originally used clorox wipes and it worked fairly well. after a while, you can still see dingy spots so I started using Mr Clean Magic Erasers. You can't use it regularly because it would be too harsh but once in awhile works and the chair looks as good as new.

I've had this happen once and it wasn't due to a defective tip but rather the skin not being completely dry. If skin isn't completely dry (after cleansing) then you will get those scratches. If that isn't what's causing it then you may have a defective tip. I've never had a defective tip from these either.

I would say no. I can only erase them using antibacterial, waterless hand sanitizer. Nothing else we've tried will erase them completely. They really are a very poor quality. The point collapsed almost immediately using very little pressure. I will not buy this brand again.

I don't know if the tips are replaceable. I do know their more durable than the rubber tipped pen I bought previously at twice the price just for the one rubber tipped pen.

I use alcohol to wipe mine down. I am the only one using it, however. Good luck!

it comes with 2 regular tips and one special tip for "finer" cleaning. Also you can find new tips on line on ebay etc. at good prices

I'd say as long as you clean them regularly you can replace as needed. No tears or discoloration your fine. Just boil them for 5 in or so.

I did not see any instructions for cleaning, so I assume they want you to buy replacements. Since they are foam, i simply rinse mine out in warm water, towel dry them, and allow to air dry. That seems to work fine.

This is actually my second one. Both came with 3 tips. You can buy extra tips, but frankly I just wash then with 1:10 bleach solution, rinse and air dry. At first we just used soapy water, but then I thought I'd give the bleach a try. Since it's just the EAC, no reason to be too squeamish about the wash, in my opinion. It wasn't sterile to begin with, so just clean how you see fit and reuse. They are so durable I haven't needed to get replacement part. I only purchased my second bottle because my first was STOLEN! Yep, its that good. (Think the company should pay me for my free commercial-HA HA!) This is actually my second one. Both came with 3 tips.

Hi. Yes you can use the standard tips. I have not had any issues with them.

I have not replaced them. I wash them in the dishwasher and have not used the item that much. It's not as powerful as I would have liked. It's good to have on hand, but with traveling now, I use the Waterpik brand travel appliance, Traveler WP-300. It comes with a zippered case and the small appliance is powerful to do the job well. It's easy to pack in your carry on. It's my favorite of all the air flossers I've purchased over the years.

There are replacement tips, and you can get those on amazon as well. One tip is good for two to four uses.

I haven't replaced mine yet, still works great and cleaning after each use should make it last a long time!

hello there, there are several medicine cups that come with, which you could replace them, and then clean the used one, just regards it as your other cups, such as your mouth pieces.

I have found that most of the tips are generically compatible. You may want to look at drugstore.com also
