ELI5: If using q-tips is dangerous, how are you supposed to clean your ears?

You generally don't need to 'clean' deep in your ear canal, just wash the outside like you would the rest of your body. But if that's not enough try using a syringe (no needle) to squirt warm water into your ear. There are also softeners to help the removal.
