Message: <blockquote data-quote="DaftThoughts" data-source="post: 1398939" data-attributes="member: 317436">I rarely clean my lancet device. When I do it's with a plain alcohol wipe on the cap part that touches my finger. The most important thing is to use fresh lancets every time you test to avoid infections and tearing the skin. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Cleaning is only really necessary if the cap is dirty or you've used it on unwashed fingers often.Most caps are also just plain plastic and can withstand a rinse in soapy water if necessary, but as this depends on the device I'd doublecheck before doing that.Most companies make "special cleaning products" just to up profits. In most cases generic cleaning alternatives work just as well!</blockquote>
