Can you wash a drone?
I would personally recommend using isopropyl alcohol or mostly any other type of alcohol and using it with a cloth to gently clean the drones shell and propellers off any marks/stains. This shouldn’t damage the drone. As well as this, a microfibre cloth could also work well.
Can you spray a drone with water?
Hydrophobic means water repellant! Now you can simply apply a hydrophobic coating to all of the parts of your drone and your drone will be ready to fly in wet conditions. Before you go dunking your drone in water to test the effectiveness of your hydrophobic spray, make sure you properly coat your device.

Those can be cleaned with another (toothpaste-free) toothbrush or other small brush. Cans of compressed air can be helpful as well. Although be careful not to spray those too close to or too long at the gears. They can damage delicate mechanisms by freezing them.
Will water ruin a drone?

How do I clean the dust off my drone?
To get rid of the dust, dirt and debris (like grass) that’s caught in your drone, invest in a blower brush. Use the blower to clean the camera, as well as the hard-to-reach places between the motor and propellers. Then, use the brush to gently sweep away any debris that’s refusing to budge.

The Mavic series are not waterproof drones – they can handle light showers so have a degree of resistance to water penetration but they are not designed to be flown in the rain and if fully submerged in water they should be returned and not flown again.
How do you clean a drone lens?
SImply clean that with a soft cloth and use some alcohol if it needs a little more. Perhaps remove the spare props from the bag first! 😉 I’d imagine a proprietary lens-cleaning wipe such as is used for spectacles might well do the job. The lens is protected by a clear filter.
