Your Phone Is Filthy: How Often You Need to Be Cleaning Your Phone Case

In the age of the novel coronavirus, people are more worried than ever about keeping their belongings clean. 

One thing that often gets forgotten is your phone case. If you don't have a self-cleaning phone case, the fact remains that you need to sanitize your phone case to keep your hands clean.

Many of us use our phones without even thinking about it and you may set it on a surface without considering the germs.

If it's time for you to look into the options for cleaning a phone case, keep reading to find out what you need to know.

Consider the Material

Truthfully, some of the phone cases out there are easier to clean than others and that is namely due to the type of material used. For instance, cleaning a silicone or hard plastic case is different than cleaning a leather case or a case made of multiple materials.

For a plastic case, feel free to use bleach mixed with water in a ventilated area. Make sure it is completely rinsed off and dry before putting it back on your phone.

Leather cases can be cleaned with soap and water. Mix the soap into the water in a bowl and dip a cloth into the mixture. After wringing out the cloth, gently clean the case and then use a dry cloth to get rid of extra moisture.

Rubber or silicone cases can be cleaned with soap and water as well or even isopropyl alcohol. 

Use Your Common Sense

It's easy to choose the products you already have around the house when cleaning your case, but don't be so hasty.

Some products may contain chemicals that your phone case won't like and it could cause damage or discoloration.

If you're not sure, remember that it is always better to be safe than sorry. You're better off buying the regular versions of plain bleach, plain isopropyl alcohol, and plain dish soap to be sure.

In addition to using the correct type of product for the specific type of case material, you also need to consider your own irritations. No matter what product you select, be sure to rinse your phone case and let it dry before use.

Keep your case on your phone and clean it regularly to protect your phone from damage and from germs. Our phones are carriers for plenty of nasty things, so regular cleaning with the correct method and product will keep you safe as well.

Tips to Avoid Mistakes

Most people know that too much moisture mixed with electronics is not a good combination. For this reason, you may want to avoid using spray cleaners or other products that are hard to remove with small amounts of water.

If you plan to clean your actual phone as well, make sure you're avoiding bleach. Also, be sure not to submerge your whole phone in any type of liquid, including water, because this can cause damage to the internal components.

Don't forget to wear gloves if you plan to work with chemicals. Your skin will thank you!
