Glad to hear it. I hope it's in permanent remission from immersion effects.

Funny story: on Saturday my sister says to me, "Guess what happened to my phone . . ." and I respond, "It fell in the toilet?" and she asks, "How'd you guess?"

BTW, in regards to cleaning stuff with alcohol: In the US at least, the product sold in hardware stores as "denatured alcohol" is ethanol with little or no water mixed in (just a tiny bit of poison!!), whereas "isopropyl alcohol" (or rubbing alcohol) as it's sold in drug stores is mixed about 3:1 with H2O (and of course the poison, because taxes or morality . . .) for use as a sanitizer and wound cleaner. So for cleaning hardware instead of skin, denatured alcohol is preferable since it evaporates much more quickly. (And I see wikipedia tells me that in the UK, rubbing alcohol is more commonly known as "surgical spirit".)
