A lot of people use Q-tips and so on to clean their ears, but it's incredibly important to remember: Anything that can go fully inside your ear canal can rupture your eardrum if it goes too deep. If you insist on cleaning your ears in such a fashion, ensure that you are in a stable position (won't trip, stumble, or otherwise shift), that nobody can bump into you or otherwise interrupt, and that you do NOT go further than the entrance -the deeper you try to clean, the more you're at risk of hurting yourself.
Truthfully, unless you have a medical condition which causes your ear wax to be especially solid or compacted naturally, the best way to clean your ears is to simply rinse them out in the shower. Also keep in mind that ear wax is there to protect your inner ear from bacteria and such -clean it out too often, and you'll become more vulnerable to ear infections.
Stay safe, and stay healthy, everyone~
