I'm using hand sanitizer to clean my earphones, and now I'm a bit worried. Are they safe to put in my ears? My ears have been really itchy lately. And should I be doing something different to disinfect my earphones safely?

Clean your ears gently using a damp cloth or cotton swabs if necessary, but avoid inserting anything deep into the ear canal.
