1.	Power Off: Turn off your smartphone and disconnect it from any charging cables or accessories.
	2.	Remove the Case: If you have a protective case on your phone, remove it.
	3.	Use a Microfiber Cloth: Gently wipe the screen and the back of the phone with a clean, microfiber cloth. Microfiber cloths are gentle and effective at removing smudges, fingerprints, and dust.
	4.	Avoid Liquids: Avoid using liquids directly on your phone, especially water. While some smartphones are water-resistant, it’s best not to risk it.
	5.	Sanitize with Wipes: If you want to disinfect your phone, use disinfectant wipes or isopropyl alcohol wipes with at least 70% alcohol content. Apply the wipe to the cloth, not directly on the phone. Gently wipe the phone’s surfaces, avoiding openings like ports and speakers.
	6.	Pay Attention to Ports: If you need to clean ports or openings, use a soft brush (like a clean, dry toothbrush) to remove dust and debris. Avoid inserting anything sharp or metal into ports.
	7.	Don’t Overdo It: Avoid excessive pressure when cleaning. You don’t want to press too hard on the screen or buttons.
	8.	Let It Dry: If you used a disinfectant wipe, allow your phone to air dry for a few minutes before turning it back on or reattaching the case.
	9.	Clean Accessories: If you have accessories like headphones or charging cables, clean them separately following the manufacturer’s recommendations.
	10.	Regular Cleaning: Make smartphone cleaning a regular habit to prevent buildup of dirt and germs.

Yes! Use a toothpick or pin to take the gunk out from the speakers etc carefully and then sanitise the phone

Liam · Answer

Yes, if you have a cloth for cleaning glasses then that works perfect.
Another way is by using rubbing alcohol, use as much as you want, it doesn't damaged electronics as it evaporates in seconds and is probably the best solution

David · Answer

You can use an earbud, if you cut this in half you will have a spike on the plastic side and then the wool side too.

The screen can be wiped down, can dampen a corner of a cloth but must be dried after this had been done.

Christopher · Answer

Use glass cleaning wipes or if you have none available then use baby wipes and failing that you can use cotton wool and a 50/50water vinegar solution

Maya · Answer

Make sure phone is turned off before cleaning. Use a soft lint free microfibre cloth. Dampen it just a little and gently wipe off the screen. Don’t forget to dry the remaining moisture with another dry lint free cloth.
