Keeping Your Smartphone Clean

You've likely seen how dirty the glass face of your smartphone can get.
Here are some tips for keeping your mobile device clean.

  • Clean the screen with a clean, lint-free, non-abrasive, soft cloth (like Micro-fiber cloth).  If necessary lightly dampen the cloth with clean water (NEVER spray liquid onto the device).
  • You may choose to clean the rest of the device with a soft, disinfectant wipe or the wipes specially marketed for tech cleaning. Then after cleansing lightly – use a dry, soft , lint-free cloth to wipe dry and clean.
  • On ports for cables or connectors you may gently use a cotton swab to remove any dirt or grime.  I have used a disinfectant wipe to get the tip damp and then cleaned these device cavities that way. 
  • Pay particular attention to wiping clean the camera ports of your device (I use a camera cleaning brush for this final step).
