AirPods dropped in dirty cleaning solution?

I am a janitor and was working when one of my AirPods fell out of my ear and into the bucket with dirty cleaning solution in it. I tried it once and it didn’t work. Do you think I’ll be able to save my AirPod or should I just get a new one?

Get a New Pair! These have become a health hazard. So, do not place this in your ear. Instead, dispose of these properly(at your local eWaste center), and get a new pair. Its all about playing it safe.
