I was wondering what the best way to clean them. I had them in a desk drawer and I THINK a mouse had a party in there because the smell like mouse pee. I would like to clean them and save them as I do USE them You can use a mix of water, alcohol and mild soap.
Let is sit in the mix for a few ministers and shake to dry it off.
But do not TRY to use it before it is is really dry.

they do not have a cover on the part that goes into the computer and I think all of them are the slide out typeWell i can lighten the mood with a funny story...
Did laundry 1 day...found a BRAND new 16G stik in the washer pullin the clothes out...it had gone thru a full cycle.
I figured i had nothin to lose at that point...put it back into my BLUE jeans pocket and ran the load thru a full dryer cycle.

Folded the clothes...remembered the stik...plugged it in to the PC and it worked...

It's now almost 2 years old...and still goin strong.

BTW I use Tide laundry detergent...not sure if that matters or not...
