Does it DRY UP?

Yes. 'Tis designed to evaporate pretty quickly.

The more you get air to its ears, the quicker it'll dry.

My major concern with the Hartz stuff is that it
really doesn't seem like it dries out. It occurs to me that if it
doesnt
dry up, then I'm keeping his lower ear canal permanently moist.

What's in the Hartz stuff?

Here's Ingredients for Oti-Clens:
Propylene glycol, malic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid.

I'd check his/her ears every nite until they show clean.

Yep. Ive been doing a weekly visit with the hartz stuff and we've been
OK for quite some time (months). Now I've got a "flare up" so am
reviewing
our routine maintenance schedule + supplies. Hence this post.
I can say we've skipped a weekly cleaning now and again since he had
no visible discomfort, but that carelessness stops now. Same for
trimming
ear hair.

Vigilance may well be the key.

Cheers,
