With today’s smart gadgets, using anytime, anywhere makes your smartphone screen dirty. And cleaning the smartphone screen also needs certain precautions. Have you ever tried using your hands to wipe the screen off with your fingers, and then realized that it did not clean the screen but also left more fingers? Then you can wipe the screen by your hand, with your pants. But do not do so clothing may scratch the screen. There are also detergents you need to avoid using, if you don’t want to damage your screen.
1. Paper towels
Paper towels can wipe your screen but it’s just the look, it can even scratch your screen because of the rough paper. Dirt can fall off and fall into slots on the screen like the speakerphone slots.
2. Glass cleaner
A solution that makes your home glass shiny, and you think the glass on your phone is the same? The answer is no! It can make your screen faulty, some current smartphones such as iPhone XR have screen protector which can be corroded.
3. Other detergents
LeBeau notes that the glass’s scratch resistance makes the phone screen unaffected by any type of detergent. Only screen protective coatings will be corroded by those solutions. For example, the Bar Keepers Friend cleaning solution was declared publicly by the manufacturer that it could damage the screen protector. The Bon Ami cleaning solution states on the packaging that the product should not be used with protective glass panels. Manufacturers also advise against using cleaning products to wipe phones.
Makeup remover: some makeup removers contain chemicals that can affect electronic screens. You should use a soft towel soaked in a little water.
4. Pneumatic
Spraying a powerful airflow into the phone can damage the devices inside it, especially the sockets and microphones.
5. Soap
While it may be possible to clean your phone, soaps need to be diluted with water, but on the other hand, keep your phone away from liquids.
6. Vinegar
It is said to be a weak acid, but it has a low pH, but it is enough to damage the oleophobic coating of the phone.
Note : if you want to use vinegar to clean the phone, you should dilute it with water then blot with a soft towel to wipe.
7. Types of disinfectant solution
Antiseptics are so toxic to the human body that you do not want your hands or face to touch when using the phone. These chemicals can also damage the oleophobic coating and hydrophobic coating of the device.
How to clean fingerprints on the phone?
Fingerprints on the phone screen are inevitable when your hands constantly secrete oil. That means leaving your fingerprints on anything other than the phone.
A safe and effective method is to use towels made of microfiber cloths (eyeglass wipes). If you want to clean, wet the towels and wipe the screen to avoid direct water and wet the screen.
Sand and lint cleaning tips
During use, sand and lint can get caught in the connectors of the phone and jam in the gaps between parts of the phone.
The solution to this problem is to use Scotch glue. You can paste along the gaps between the camera body, speakerphone, charging port and other connection ports. Adhesive will pull the fibers and sand out of your machine.
Disinfect phones when in contact with raw food
Use a dry, damp cloth with specialized cleaning solution to clean the device. This will not cause your phone to leave fine dust, but instead will help your phone sterilize better after being affected by raw food.
Remove makeup powder that sticks on the screen
When putting the phone against the face to listen to the phone, you can stick makeup on the screen. Especially for girls, unlike you can use makeup remover to remove your makeup, makeup removers can damage your screen as mentioned above. Instead, use a special eraser to protect your phone.
Can waterproof phones be “washed”?
Just like a waterproof watch, your phone can only be waterproof at a certain water pressure. And you absolutely should not wash your phone against water regularly, because waterproof is only a relative possibility not absolute features. You will be completely denied the warranty if the phone is waterproof even when the phone is waterproof. Phone should be washed down with water and precautions should be taken when using this capability.
