Wipe according to the folds inside the cat's ear canal. Do not poke it hard to prevent pain or injury to the cat. And pay attention to the cat's movements, and be sure to wipe when the cat is relatively stable.

Turn the ears back, pinch the outside of the ears with your fingers, and gently rub the base of the ears to help the ear cleaning solution work better.
