Bracelet cleaning

Folks,
How do you clean your bracelets when they get dirty? My bracelet got a bit dirty and I want to clean it, now what's the best way to do that?
I used to clean my other bracelets with a toothbrush and soap, is that a good idea?
Thanks!

Hand soap and someone else's toothbrush. Don't use your own as the soap makes it taste weird.

Every now & again, I pop bracelets off the head and give them a spa in ultrasonic gleaner with a homebrew degreasing solution.

If patience is unavailable, I use a can of aerosol electric contact cleaner spray and it blasts all the dirt out in a split second.

Bracelet is squeaky clean after that.

A shower, and perhaps this when making the morning ristretto....
