I've been thinking to allow people in my bar to play some PS3/4 while drinking. Though there's a good chance the controllers will be spilled on, so I was looking for an easy way to clean a lot of controllers at once. Something that can be done in a few minutes every night.
I tried to find some 3rd party controller that's machine washable, but couldn't find any. I did find some controller covers, which are OK, but don't protect the buttons. Another option is perhaps some kind of a bath for the controllers, so they just sit in it over night, but of course normal water would ruin them. So perhaps some kind of cleaning fluid I don't know about? Or perhaps something completely different I have thought about?
Any help? Thanks!

A few options which ideally should be employed to mitigate any damages are the following:
Or even controller stickers which can be thrown away once used, a smart way to promote your bar/beverage.
Technically, as proved with mobile phones. You can submerge your controllers in pure alcohol (has to be as close to 100% (ethanol)). This would remove any moisture in the controller and leave it clean, however wouldn't recommend as a daily task as there may be grease and lubricant within the controller for joysticks or rumble feature.
A quick search on ebay will bring up 100's on options for PS3 and PS4.
