You’re Not Cleaning Your iPhone Properly

Our iPhones are one of the dirtiest things we carry with us every day. So it’s really important that you clean your device regularly.

However, most of us may not be cleaning it properly. Sure, your iPhone is water-resistant, but that doesn’t mean you can just wash it.

Likewise, you shouldn’t use cleaning agents on your iPhone like you’re washing your clothes.

Instead, Apple recommends you use 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipes, 75 percent ethyl alcohol wipes, or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, and gently wipe the exterior surfaces of your iPhone. Don’t let any moisture reach your charging port or any other openings like the earpiece, and definitely avoid products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide.

Also, be sure to unplug all your cables and shut off your iPhone completely before cleaning it.
