Disinfection and cleaning

I have antiseptic wipes and wanted to know if it is okay to periodically disinfect the iPhone X - MacBook pro 2018 - Apple Watch S4 Aluminum.



Thanks.

Here is Apple's recommendation. See: How to clean your Apple products - Apple Support


including the information below from that link:


Is it OK to use a disinfectant on my Apple product? 


Using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the hard, nonporous surfaces of your Apple product, such as the display, keyboard, or other exterior surfaces. Don't use bleach. Avoid getting moisture in any opening, and don't submerge your Apple product in any cleaning agents. Don't use on fabric or leather surfaces.
