Smartphones come into contact with dirt and bacteria throughout the day. You take your device to a lot of places and often use it many times a day.
A quick wipe with your sleeve or a towel may make the screen look cleaner, but it does not necessarily remove all the dirt. These tips will help you keep your smartphone properly clean.
Clean your phone thoroughly at least once a week, or more often if needed. This helps prevent dust and dirt from building up on your smartphone.
Start by removing dust and small dirt particles. These can cause scratches while wiping the device or collect in its ports and openings.
For hard-to-reach areas, you can carefully use suitable compressed air. Keep enough distance and avoid directing strong air pressure straight into ports or other openings.
A soft microfiber cloth is a good way to remove dust, fingerprints and small amounts of dirt without unnecessarily scratching the device.
If you use a cleaning product, apply only a small amount to a microfiber cloth and never directly to your smartphone. Make sure no liquid gets into ports or other openings, and always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
The more people handle your smartphone, the more hands come into contact with the device. Where possible, keep your smartphone with you rather than passing it around unnecessarily.
