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

Also, the reason for that is that the water conducts electricity, which only matters when the electronics are on at the time. 70% is still going to evaporate before you turn it on (given that you're not fully submerging the thing and getting liquid deep in crevasses).
Also maybe look out for charged capacitors and batteries.
