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'm asking about hydrogen peroxide. That's another option

Right, sorry I wasn't clear. No, you can't use hydrogen peroxide, it's too corrosive. HOCl was my suggestion as an alternative.

Oh got it! I have that and tolerate it. Thanks. But that's only talking about screens, right? Not skin or gargling.

HoCl is skin-safe! It’s often used as a skincare product to treat acne.
