How do you clean your earphones? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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

              Separate rubber pieces from earbuds
Plug drain in sink and wash rubber pieces in soapy water, then let dry
Fold a sheet of tissue paper over and saturate with 70% isopropyl alcohol from a dropper bottle
Wipe earbuds thoroughly with the saturated tissue and let dry
Reassemble and repeat once every 1 to 2 weeks
