Ear Cleaning Bamboo Wipes

Beco Ear Cleaning Bamboo Wipes are gentle wipes designed specifically for cleaning your dog's outer ear area. Made from 100% bamboo-derived rayon with a textured surface that lifts wax build-up, dirt, and dead skin from the ear folds. Formulated with salicylic acid and lactic acid to help break down excess oil and wax, aloe vera and chamomile to soothe, glycerin to moisturise, and coconut oil for conditioning. Lightly coconut-scented. Plastic-free, with a resealable lid that keeps wipes moist between uses. 70 wipes per pack. Made by Beco, a B Corp certified British pet brand. Why a Dedicated Ear Wipe A dog's ear canal is warm, dark, and poorly ventilated — conditions that make it prone to wax build-up, bacterial growth, and yeast overgrowth. General-purpose wipes are not formulated to address wax and oil accumulation. Beco's ear wipes contain salicylic acid, which is widely recognised for helping to break down wax and excess oil, and lactic acid, which may support gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells in the ear folds. The textured bamboo rayon surface provides enough grip to lift debris without being abrasive on the sensitive ear tissue. Singapore Context — Why Ear Cleaning Matters More Here Singapore's year-round heat and humidity accelerate the conditions that lead to ear problems in dogs. Warm, moist ear canals are ideal environments for yeast and bacteria to thrive, which is why ear infections and yeasty ears are among the most common veterinary complaints in Singapore. Dogs that swim, get bathed frequently, or have floppy ears that trap moisture are especially vulnerable. Regular ear fold wiping between full ear cleans helps reduce the build-up of wax, oil, and debris that creates a breeding ground for infection. These wipes are a maintenance tool — not a replacement for veterinary treatment if an infection is already present. Key Ingredients Salicylic acid — widely recognised for its ability to help break down excess oil, wax, and dead skin cells. Lactic acid — may support gentle exfoliation and help maintain a balanced skin environment in the ear folds. Aloe vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice) — traditionally associated with soothing irritated skin. Chamomile extract (Chamomilla Recutita) — may support the calming of mild skin irritation. Coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera) — traditionally used for its conditioning and moisturising properties. Glycerin — a humectant that helps maintain moisture in the skin. Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) — an antioxidant that may support skin conditioning. Decyl glucoside — a gentle, naturally derived cleanser. Product Details 70 wipes per pack.

Frequently Asked Questions How are these different from Beco's general bamboo dog wipes? The general wipes are formulated with shea butter, aloe vera, and chamomile for all-over use on paws, coat, and face. The ear wipes contain salicylic acid and lactic acid — active ingredients specifically chosen to help break down wax, oil, and dead skin in the ear area. The general wipes do not contain these ingredients. Can I use these wipes inside my dog's ear canal? No — these wipes are designed for the outer ear area and ear folds only. Do not insert any wipe into the ear canal. For deeper ear cleaning, use a liquid ear cleaner applied with a cotton ball, or consult your veterinarian. Are these wipes safe for daily use? Yes — the wipes are formulated for regular maintenance cleaning of the outer ear folds. How often you use them depends on your dog. Dogs with floppy ears, dogs that swim, and breeds prone to waxy ears may benefit from wiping every few days. Dogs with upright ears and no history of ear issues may only need weekly maintenance. Which breeds benefit most from ear wipes? Breeds with floppy or heavy ears that trap moisture and restrict airflow — such as Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Labrador Retrievers — are particularly prone to ear issues and benefit most from regular ear fold cleaning. Dogs with hairy ear canals (such as Poodles and Schnauzers) also benefit from routine maintenance. My dog already has an ear infection. Will these wipes help? These wipes are a maintenance tool for routine cleaning — they are not a treatment for ear infections. If your dog has signs of an ear infection (redness, swelling, strong odour, discharge, head shaking, or scratching), consult your veterinarian for appropriate treatment. Once the infection has cleared, regular ear wiping can help reduce the likelihood of recurrence. How many wipes are in a pack? Each pack contains 70 wipes with a resealable lid that keeps them moist between uses.
