Your phone is probably one of the items you touch most with your hands throughout the day and one you use in the different places, like the kitchen, bathroom or car. This is why, it is important to keep it free of bacteria, although most of them are harmless as they are found on our skin.

Remember that, in order to clean your phone properly, you need to avoid using very wet cloths and harsh cleaning products, such as window cleaner or polish.

How to clean the phone screen

The first thing we recommend when cleaning the phone screen is to switch it off and unplug it from all power sources. Then, use a microfibre cloth or chamois for cleaning glasses to softly wipe the screen.

If there are any stubborn stains, slight moisten the cloth with water and a specific cleaning solution for screens but remember not use harsh chemical products. Do not spray the screen directly with the liquid, as it could be damaged.

For optimum cleaning, try not exert too much pressure and finish by wiping the screen with a dry cloth, always in the same direction. 

How to clean the phone speaker

With time, it is very common for dirt to build up in the phone’s speaker. This can affect its functioning and lower the quality or distort the sound. To prevent this from happening, follow these tips for deep cleaning speakers.

• Use a toothbrush to remove dust and dirt from the speakers. You are recommended to use gentle movements in order not to damage the components.
• You can remove dirt from the speakers with putty or tape. Just apply it to the holes and then remove carefully.
• Cotton earbuds are a good option. But you should use them when dry, not wet. 

Although they may seem effective, sharp objects like needles are not recommended for removing dirt. Neither are liquids and chemicals.

How to clean the phone key

Sometimes we realize that our mobile fails to charge properly and do not know why, as both the device and cable seem to be in order. This is where dirt comes into play. The fact of the matter is, although it may not seem so, phone keys accumulate a lot which can cause problems when charging.

To clean the mobile key, you can follow the same tips as those for cleaning the speakers. If this is not enough, you can try with compressed air to remove the most resistant particles stuck in it. We can assure you that with this method, your phone keys will be pristine.

How to clean the outside of your phone?

The first thing you must do to clean the outside of your phone is turn off the device and remove any case or accessory. Use a soft cloth, slightly dampened with water or a gentle cleaner solution to clean the case and buttons. Last of all, dry the mobile with another soft, dry cloth to remove any remains of the liquid.

If you follow these cleaning tips, your phone will stay in good condition and its useful life will be prolonged. Remember to carry out this cleaning process on a regular basis to keep your device in good condition!
