Gestures of Concern: Tips for Keeping Your Smartphone Clean
Just as thorough hand-washing and other hygienic practices have become key aspects of our daily lives, keeping our smartphones clean should also form a key part of our self-sanitation routines – given how much we interact with our mobile devices.
Here are some of our suggestions on how you can continue to use your smartphone and stay hygienic:
- Do not use general cleaners, compressed air sprays, or disinfectant and bleach-based products
- Fully power down your device and remove its case, cables, and other accessories
- Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe down the exterior of the device
- If needed, use a small amount of distilled water or disinfectant, such as a hypochlorous acid-based (50-80ppm) or alcohol-based (over 70% ethanol or isopropyl alcohol) product – but always apply these to your microfiber cloth, not directly to your phone, and be sure to avoid getting any liquid in your phone’s openings
- Dampen your cloth with disinfectant and gently wipe the front and back of your device to cleanse it
