You should never put anything inside your ear like wax remover, oil, water, and most dangerously soap or detergents as you asked. Our body we designed clean the ear by itself by forwarding motion of its inside lining / mucosa and moreover, the wax is not dirt or unclean substance and is the body's secretion for cleaning and protecting the ear canal.
