Fingerprint stains are difficult to avoid because your skin is constantly producing oils. This means that every time you pick up your phone, fingerprints will be everywhere.
The safest and most effective way to clean the screen is to use a microfiber cloth. If the screen needs to be cleaned urgently, dampen the microfiber cloth with distilled water and clean the screen. Do not splash water directly on the screen. This method can also be used on the back and sides of your phone.

Lint and sand can get stuck in the tiny ports on your phone and in the crevices where the screen meets your body.
The best solution for removing sand and lint is tape. You can place it along the folds and the speaker, roll it up and carefully insert it into the ports. The stickiness of the tape will remove any lint or sand that might get stuck on your phone.
Use a toothpick for the small holes in the speakers that the tape can't reach, or try vacuuming up the dirt with a small slitting tool . These tools can also be used on other small appliances or hard-to-reach areas of your car.

When you have your makeup full and need to make a phone call, guess what this foundation is going to hold onto. That's right, your phone screen. And while you can use makeup remover to remove makeup every night, you shouldn't use it as a screen cleaner due to certain chemicals that may lurk in the ingredients. Organics.org explains the chemicals that your makeup remover can contain.
Instead, you can equip your phone with its own makeup remover like Whoosh . The company claims that it is safe for all displays and does not contain alcohol, chlorine, ammonia, or phosphates that could damage various display coatings.
You can also clean it with a damp microfiber cloth and then throw it in the washing machine. Be sure to use a spray bottle to spray the cloth instead of running it underwater. The less water the better.
Can you wash waterproof phones?
If you have a waterproof phone rated IP67 or higher , you can rinse it off with water. While these phones, like the iPhone 7 ( $ 159 in the back market ) and newer phones as well as the Galaxy S, can soak in up to 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes, using a damp cloth is a much better idea use. or wet. to clean your phone. Then, dry your phone with a soft, dry cloth to remove the water. Make sure all speakers and connectors are completely dry.
If you submerge the phone in water or place it under a tap, water will enter the ports. This means you won't be able to charge it until it's dry. This can take a while. Remember, having a waterproof phone is more a safety issue than voluntarily swimming with your phone.
Whenever you make a call while doing makeup, guess what's going on on your phone.
Sarah Tew / CNET9 things you should never use to clean your phone
We're not here to embarrass you, but drop that bottle of Windex, stat. This is not how you clean your screen.
Hydroalcoholic gel
Since some hand sanitizers contain ingredients like perfumes and ethyl alcohol, it is best to keep them away from the phone screen. However, if you've touched anything outside of your home, it is a good idea to sanitize your hands before touching the phone to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria. For best results, use a manufacturer's hand sanitizer instead of making it yourself at home (they aren't as effective).
window cleaner
Do you use glass cleaner to clean your mirrors and windows and are they perfectly clean so they can be used on your phone? Not correct! Some newer phones, like the iPhone XR ( $ 599 from Apple ) , have a water- and oil-resistant protective coating that can wear off over time.
Using harsh detergents can remove the coating and make your phone more prone to scratches. James LeBeau, associate professor of materials science and engineering at MIT, told us that any cleaner that contains an abrasive can scratch the surface. Hence, this should be avoided entirely.

Kitchen cleaner
The scratch resistance properties of a screen are not destroyed by detergents, but peeling off this protective layer is still a problem. This is also why Apple recommends that you avoid using household cleaners to clean your iPhone , including bleach. For example, Bar Keepers Friend claims that its grinding formula can damage the protective coating . Bon Ami declares that it cannot be used on coated glass.
Paper napkins
They might be the perfect solution for cleaning your desk, but keep them away from your phone. Paper can tear and make the dirt on your phone worse. Paper towels can even scratch the screen.
Rub alcohol
Since many newer phones have a protective coating, isopropyl alcohol can wear out faster over time and make your phone more prone to scratches. Check the ingredients of the product in any "safe to use" phone screen cleaner for alcohol. Apple says to avoid alcohol when cleaning your devices.
Make-up remover
Some makeup removers can contain chemicals that can be harsh on an electronic screen. LeBeau suggests avoiding makeup removers and using a soft cloth with a little water instead.
Compressed air
Your phone is delicate, so blowing an intense amount of air into your portals can cause damage, especially to your microphone. Tech companies like Apple explicitly warn against the use of compressed air .
Dish soap and hand soap
While their dishes and hand soaps are mild, they can only be paired with water. Most phone companies recommend that you keep water off your phone. Therefore, hold onto a damp cloth again.
The vinegar
It's a no-no. The vinegar will remove the coating from the sieve. You can, as Lifehacker suggests using highly diluted vinegar to clean other parts of your phone. Android Central suggests a 50/50 mix with distilled water to clean the sides and back.
Now that your phone has been cleaned up, it's time to move on to other areas. Here know you, like you after a night out that can eliminate in your home and in your car coronavirus , how you handle your packages and your post and why you should not manufacture their own hand sanitizer at home .
