The use of smartphones has increased and now it is being used extensively from home to office and even during travel in buses and trains. Many people have the habit of taking their phones with them even to the toilet. Therefore it becomes necessary to clean the phone. While using it outdoors or in bus-train etc., dust starts sticking to the phone screen due to sweat, face oil etc. Apart from this, there is also concern about hygiene. Amidst all this, it is important to know after how often the phone screen should be cleaned.
When should the screen be cleaned?
If you are coming from a bus, train or public place, then there is a high possibility that dust, dirt or sweat etc. may have accumulated on the phone screen. In such a situation, you can clean the phone screen as soon as you come home. For this, use a cloth like microfiber or cotton. Lightly wet the cloth and clean the screen gently. Keep in mind that do not spray any liquid on the screen nor apply pressure on it while cleaning the screen.
When should one disinfect?
If you are coming back after using the phone from places like toilet, kitchen or market etc. then it is advised to disinfect it. Even if you use the phone at home, it should be disinfected once a week. For this you can use any disinfectant liquid available in the market. Here also keep in mind that you should not bring the liquid in direct contact with the phone. Also, one should avoid using hard chemicals while cleaning the phone. If you use hard chemicals, the color of the phone will start deteriorating within a few days.
