I dropped my AirPods in the toilet (hexbear.net)

I fished them out using a pair of tongs that I put under hot water in the sink. I went to get some alcohol wipes while I left the tongs under the sun, after drying the AirPods with some bathroom tissue (and throwing out the ear tips).

Once I had the wipes, I cleaned the AirPods multiple times, and wiped them on a microfibre cloth. Now I’m letting them under stay in the sun.

I don’t know what more to do. I plan to let them be under the sun for the rest of the day, and probably wipe them a few more times. I don’t know if that’ll be enough to soothe my worries, though.

was the toilet full of poopy water or just regular toilet water? if it's the former, they'll never be clean and you will need to change your name to "MyEarsEatPoop". If it's the latter, you're gravy.

I hadn't actually used the toilet yet thank god lol. But they still went in the toilet. I don't even know yet when I'll feel comfortable putting them in my ears, again. I am not even thinking about that.

Average toilet water that hasn't been used is probably cleaner than average swimming pool water.
