You need a product that will kill off the mites, who are hiding deeper than you can reach them with a swab. Yes you can clean the ear folds with an oil altho I'll give you an easier and better solution to do this with (good home recipe given by my old vet) but you need a product designed for canine ear mites.
Ear wash solution: 1/3 measure of hydrogen peroxide, 1/3 measure of cider vinegar, and 1/3 measure of water. Keep in a closed container but I suggest you only mix up enough to use one time (ie, use 1 T. of each). Soak 1-2 cotton balls and wet the external ear, okay if some drips inside the opening. Rub gently to soften any accumulated wax/debris, then wipe out folds with Q-tips/swabs. Allow ear to 'dry' before applying any medication. Do not encourage dog to shake its head, as this may cause earflap hematoma.
