For ear plucking, we use a pair of hemostats and twist rather than pull.
I use Vet Solutions Ear Cleansing Solution, which cleans, re-acidifies, AND dries!!! One step for all your needs! Just so you know, I DON'T use cotton balls on Bella (she's never had any ear issues at all)...I only use the solution after every bath, but I do use cotton balls on Maya because her ears tend to get a little waxy.
