No, soap will ruin the waterproof seals.

This. Turns it into a booger consistency, and let’s the water flow right in to the internal components.

If you use too strong of rubbing alcohol, like the 80-90% strong kind, it can do the same. Not always, but it can happen. When repairing and replacing those seals, you tend to use 99% or straight up acetone to remove them. I used to go home from work with those adhesive boogers all over my sleeves, it's a nightmare.
