How to clean ear mites in cats:

1. Soak a cotton swab with baby oil, hold the cat in your arms, and gently fold the outside of the cat's ear to expose the ear canal. Then, use the cotton swab to wipe away any dirt from the outer ear and ear canal.

2. Next, dip a cotton swab in a little ear cleaning solution and gently touch the ear mite. After the inside softens, release the swab and then lift the ear and drip 2 to 3 drops of ear cleaning solution into the ear canal.
