How to clean those super cheap foam earplugs? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm down to my last clean pair and I'd love to not have to buy a ton more of these down the line. They're essential for any time I end up at a music-centric event, or really most events that include music. I'll be scrolling through the earplug recommendations in this community too

I got some Etymotic reusable plugs and I never leave home without 'em. They come with a little carrying case, and they don't affect the frequency response of my hearing (just the overall decibel level!)

Second Etymotic, they seem to have put a lot of thought into the “how will it sound” part of the noise reduction
