Hi,how can i clean my phone, headphones and laptop of scabies? if i spray them with permethrin,is it possible that there will be residue on the equipment even if it is wiped off with water after 30 minutes? does sodium hypochlorite / hydroxide work?

If by chance you have a portable steam cleaner, these shoot a stream of high temperature steam that sanitize objects and cools quickly enough not to damage most items.
