Cleaning your smartphone screen: What to do and not to do

Smartphones are our constant companions, used for everything from communication to navigation. However, with frequent use comes grime, dust, smudges, germs, and bacteria that can dirty and contaminate the screen. Cleaning your phone screen is not just about aesthetics, but also about hygiene. To clean your screen effectively, use a microfiber cloth to lift dust and fingerprints without scratching it. Opt for distilled water instead of tap water to avoid streaks from mineral deposits. For tougher grime or disinfecting, sparingly use a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution. Avoid harsh chemicals like window cleaners and bleach, as they can damage the screen's coating. Remember to turn off and unplug your phone before cleaning, and let the screen air dry completely before putting the case back on. Avoid using paper towels and tissues, as they can scratch the screen. Also, avoid spraying or pouring liquids directly onto the screen, as this can cause damage. Make it a habit to clean your phone screen regularly for a clean and hygienic device.
