What to use to clean ear mites out?

Mikko needs to have a ear cleaned out. The vet will not be open until Monday and I have to work. Is there anything else I can use like hydrogen peroxide? I do not have any Ottis ear cleaner.

My Vet applied a few drops of "Frontline" and it took care of the problem. I don't recommend Frontline for regular use but it solved the ear mite problem quickly.

Went to Wally World and bought some ear cleaner last night. I did not know they carried it. Will try the mineral oil.

I've used mineral oil. Apparently olive oil is also effective.
