How often do you clean it too?

One of my bluetooth earphones fell on a footpath, as I was trying to put it back into its case.
Now I’m thinking about the germs that may have gotten on it n all. Generally, I use some sanitizer to clean it from time to time.

Looking to see how others would clean their earphones in such a situation too

    This is true but if the water used to create alcohol is distilled, which I think it is, I think it’s okay because it’s the minerals in the water that are the real problem.

      That’s true but the electronics are not as clean and the water will pick up the residue and become conductive again.

        I think in a 70% solution the alcohol disrupts polarity of of the water molecules enough to stop it from picking up the residue. Only one way to find out. pours 70% alcohol onto computer while power is on
