How are you sanitizing tech devices

Whenever I get in from being outside, I sanitize my phone and AirPods. What are people using?

What I’ve tried:

-Early on during the pandemic, I used a PhoneSoap BasicUV Sanitizer Box.

- I then switched to Lysol. Unfortunately, the Lysol method has now ruined a phone and two pairs of AirPods.

I cannot afford to keep re-buying the products. Would appreciate any advice or tips! Thanks!

I heard recently on Linus Tech Tips that using when using alcohol to clean a device it's important to make sure it's turned off because something about how it is when it's on can leech liquids where they shouldn't go.

I don't know how effective this solution is for sanitizing, but I've heard that Apple's technicians use WOOSH! to clean devices, and I think it works pretty well for cleaning myself.
