I don't think it's advisable. Your vet has products that both clean the ear, and dry it. If the ear is dirty, smells bad, or has discharge, then you should have the vet examine it regardless to make sure you're not dealing with an infection. If you don't wanna spend the money on going to the vet than baby wipes an rub it against the ear you can also do it with hydron peroxide
