Electronics, Appliances, and Jewelry
📱 Electronics and Small Appliances
Electronics are often semi-porous and can trap dust in vents, buttons, and seams. While you usually can’t immerse or wipe them aggressively, you can clean them safely with the right steps.
Cleaning Steps:
1. Unplug and power off the device.
2. Take the item outside if possible.
3. Use a hair dryer (no heat), small electronics blower, or canned air to gently dislodge dust from vents and crevices.
4. HEPA vacuum the surface and vent areas using a brush attachment.
5. Damp wipe the outer casing with a microfiber cloth and a botanical cleaner (spray the cloth, not the device).
6. Allow to dry fully before bringing indoors or reconnecting.
Do not: Spray liquids directly on electronics, immerse them, or use air washing indoors.
🧊 Kitchen & Household Appliances
For appliances like microwaves, refrigerators, and air fryers:
• Unplug and move them to a safe workspace.
• Remove and clean removable trays or parts via immersion or dishwasher if possible.
• Damp wipe all external and internal surfaces, using the quarter-fold microfiber method.
• Use HEPA vacuuming for vents and fans.
• Air wash gently in open areas if needed (e.g., coils, vents).
💍 Jewelry and Small Items
Most jewelry is solid and highly cleanable. Rings, earrings, watches, and metal or stone pieces are usually safe to clean with:
• A mild botanical soak (EC3 or diluted Branch Basics)
• A soft toothbrush for crevices
• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean microfiber towel
Store cleaned jewelry in sealed containers or pouches if you’re highly sensitive.
