Topic: Is this good advice for cleaning out one's ears?

Use a cap full of hydrogen peroxide. Pour the cap full in your ear. Lay on your side while it does its magic. Then turn over, let it drain onto a towel, repeat with the other side. You will feel so fresh and so clean clean. It's not the best for your ears but once or twice will not cause any damage.

Warm water is fine, if you need something stronger use mineral oil. I've never heard of peroxide in the ear...

drip candle wax in there and let it cool, then when you pull it out everything else will come with it.

Carbamide peroxide is the active ingredient in many wax removal aids sold in the US, but hydrogen peroxide, glycerin, and various oils is also used in some. The peroxide breaks up the wax. Hydrogen peroxide (in the concentrations commonly sold in most drug stores) is fairly harmless for brief external use. Some new-age oxygen therapy even has people drinking and injecting without much trouble. (Not that this is a good idea, but people do use it in capacity without suffering horrible injuries.)

It does sound like good advice. I would let the peroxide sit for a while and then let drink. afterwards, pour some sweet oil into the ear and put in a cotton ball.
