Cleaning your phone - what you should pay attention to

If you do not clean your phone regularly, viruses and bacteria can accumulate on its surfaces. To prevent this, we explain in our article how often you should clean your smartphone and which agents are best for this purpose.

How often you should clean your cell phone

With frequent use, many bacteria and viruses accumulate on your cell phone due to contact with skin, sweat and saliva. To prevent the formation of viruses and bacteria on the surface of the phone, you should roughly clean your smartphone every two days and at least once a week a thorough cleaning.

1. For rough cleaning, it is best to take a lint-free microfiber cloth and dip it in warm water with a little detergent.
2. Wring out the cloth afterwards and use it to clean the display. Make absolutely sure that the cloth is clean, because dust and dirt can damage the display.
3. To clean the entire phone thoroughly, take a toothpick or cotton swab and also clean all gaps, the back and the ports on the device.
