Thermometer Maintenance Guide
Cleaning a thermometer depends a lot on its type and functionality. The traditional thermometers can be cleaned in any way you want. You can soak them in water and they will be fine. But now, most people use digital and electrical thermometers. These are a bit trickier to clean.
For a normal thermometer, you can take a bowl full of soapy water and wash it in that. After you’re done washing it in the bowl, just shake off the extra water and dry it off with a soft, dry cloth.
If you have a digital thermometer, even though many of them are supposed to be waterproof, you shouldn’t submerge them into the water for long. You can use normal rubbing alcohol and a soft cotton pad to disinfect it. Make sure you wring all the excessive alcohol from the alcohol after dipping it. Then wipe over the thermometer with the cotton pad, make sure you clean the tip properly. Then take a clean damp cloth and clean the alcohol from the thermometer. Dry it off on a clean towel before storing it away.
As for a no-contact thermometer, you can take some rubbing alcohol and damp it with a microfiber cloth. Squeeze the cloth hard to get rid of all the excess alcohol and give the thermometer a good wipe. The alcohol should evaporate on its own. Give it a final wipe with a dry cloth before storing the thermometer away.
If your thermometer runs on battery, check the percentage before every use. In case of any malfunction, replace your thermometer at the earliest.
