Clean your call buttons occasionally to keep them clean and in good working order. There are, however, lots of products that can damage your wireless call buttons.
Safe Products to Use
Use 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPL) wipes. These are effective at disinfection, rapidly evaporate to prevent moisture being left on surfaces and will not damage standard plastic casing(s) of wireless call buttons. Surface wipes that are pre-moistened are suitable for cleaning of frequently touched surfaces and are very effective for high touch areas, such as wireless call buttons used in hospitality.
What to Avoid
No liquid must be sprayed onto a button. Aerosol cleaners contain a lot of moisture which can penetrate into the seams of the button and then into the circuit inside the button. Also abrasive cloths and scouring pads can damage the surface of the button and furthermore blur printed labels.
Cleaning Around Edges and Seams
Using a cotton bud dampened lightly with isopropyl alcohol in a clean room environment, work carefully around the edges of the button using the cotton bud to remove any grime, working slowly to avoid pushing liquid into any joins.

Removing Adhesive Residue
Small amounts of isopropyl alcohol on a cloth are suitable for removing adhesive residue from wireless call buttons left on surfaces by adhesive mounted units. Acetone type products must be avoided as they have a tendency to cloud or crack plastic surfaces.
How Often to Clean
In Hospitality environments a daily wipe down of your wireless call buttons would be recommended. For Care Homes and Healthcare environments, wireless call buttons should be cleaned after each use, or at the very least twice a day. Offices with lower traffic would need to clean their wireless call buttons on a weekly basis.
Let It Dry First
Wait a minute or so and then press the button again. All surfaces must be completely dry to prevent any moisture getting into the contacts.
