Unless you have a problem with large amounts of earwax build up, you do not have to remove your ear wax. GOD in his wonderous wisdom made your ears self cleaning. The tiny hairs in your ears actually pushes the wax out of your ears. People cause problems when they try and clean the wax out but using Q tips and such and they damage these hairs so they do not function properly. This only cause the wax to get packed inside your ears. Best thing is to clean the outer ear and places you can reach with a cloth. The rest just let your ears do the rest.
If you have large amounts of wax build up see your doctor to have him recommend a treatment.

DONT USE Q-TIPS!!!
most of the time you get some wax out, but you are also pushing wax into the back of your ear at the same time, then it builds up, and can cause the most random of infections
limit your ear cleaning usage with your fingers and q-tips

An ear cleaning device might work. They are called Q-tips
Are you looking to make home made Q-tips?
1) Get stick
2) Place cotton on stick
3) jam stick in head (Ear hole)
4) Twist
5) Remove stick, cotton, and ear wax.
6) Discard home made ear cleaning device
Note - the more ear wax you remove the more self satisfaction you will receive.
7) Repeat steps 1-6 in opposing hole in head.
I think I will get best answer. ;-)

Careful with your ears. See a nurse or a Dr.
Or go get some drops from the store.
Warm, soapy water will soften the wax, too but you want a Dr. to look inside to make sure your ears are ok. Unless you want to gamble with your hearing abilities.
Take care.

I have used ear candling and found it to be very successful for removing excessive ear wax. Find someone who can do ear candling for you, or seek advice on where to get the candles from and how to do it. There are regular supliers in most countries.
good luck and good hearing!

get a q tip soak in warm water and start cleaning your ear. After the wet use the dry and that should work just fine.

A really fast way is to use Q-Tip's. Are there that many Dumb people still out there. When your IQ gets to 50% SELL!
Also like Ring-Around the Collar, Good way to get rid of that is to use soap and water to wash your neck. Simple but effective.
