How do you clean your earphones?

give it a good rinse in acetone

A quick wipe on my shirt and back in the ear it goes. I'll do an occasional wipe with alcohol if they get extra gunky but that's about it.
I may or may not be a gremlin.

With respect it sounds like you're a bit overly germaphobic. If you want you could wipe them with an alcohol wipe, but you could also just forget all about it and your life will be the same.
-
You can buy a big box of alcohol wipes for cheap. They're great for cleaning small things like earbuds and the case.
-
I just pop mine in my mouth every now and then.
-
I just clean out the earwax with whatever I have on hand when I notice the buildup. Usually a nail or screw or splinter of wood, seeing as how im a carpenter and all and that’s what’s usually nearby.

Yes, I think I am bit more conscious about it
Though, I do live in India and our footpaths may have random unvaccinated/undomesticated animals walking/sleeping on them etc.
Recently saw news of a boy catching rabies

Some big "Thanks I'm cured" energy here. If they truly are germophobic, then just saying "get over it" isn't gonna do jack shit as advice.

80% isopropyl alcohol. Use a soft brush wet with some of the alcohol. Brush around the affected areas.
Let it dry and that’s all for me.I wouldn’t recommend dousing electronics in less than 90%. Feels sketchy. But I have nothing to back that up besides “electronics cleaner” being 99% iso.
-
I use an old toothbrush to get all the bits of crud out, then wipe down with disinfectant hand wipes.
-
70% iso is actually more effective for killing bacteria, as the additional water helps to penetrate the cell wall. Higher concentration iso is better for dissolving crud off a bong tho.
-
Do not do this, OP
-
If you use 70% the remaining 30% are typically water. And water and electronics aren't necessarily best friends.

Well don't drink it lol

-
does the 30 second rule count?
big trouble if people can't count to 30.
-
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. -
That's true but the electronics are not as clean and the water will pick up the residue and become conductive again.
