Often a certain source of germs is overlooked when cleaning: the cell phone! We always have our smartphones in hand - whether on the train, in the pub or in the toilet. No matter where your smartphone was: you should clean it regularly!

General tips for cleaning your mobile phone

As such, the question "Why should I clean my smartphone?" do not have to be asked at all. But in addition to the obvious hygiene reasons, other facts speak in favor of regular cleaning: A freshly cleaned display emits richer colors. It is possible that the loose connection on the charging socket is simply deposited dust. This can be removed very easily. And the jack socket for the headphones should also be clean: This clearly improves the sound of the microphone and headphones.

Use only clean cloths to clean your phone. These should preferably be made of microfiber, as the material is particularly low in lint. There are extra cleaning agents for displays and electrical devices that are specially designed for the sensitive touchscreens and screens. Other cleaning agents, such as glass cleaner, can even damage the device in the worst case. Alcohol and soap should also be used with caution, as they attack the grease-repellent properties of the screen material..

Cleaning agents should never be applied to the device itself. Always moisten a cloth with the cleaner. This will prevent too much liquid from getting on your device. In the worst case, this liquid could penetrate the cracks and openings in the housing and damage your smartphone. Even if your cell phone is rated as waterproof, most manufacturers are not liable in the event of damage. You can determine whether your smartphone is waterproof using the IP class.

The specific procedure for cleaning your smartphone

  1. Turn off your smartphone and let it cool down. If possible, remove the battery. In this way a possible short circuit can be prevented.
  2. Remove covers and decorative elements.
  3. Remove coarse dirt, such as crumbs, from the display. To do this, blow across the screen or shake the device briefly.
  4. Take a soft, clean cloth. Do not spray the cleaning agent directly onto your smartphone, but always onto the cloth. This should then be slightly damp, but not really wet. Then gently wipe the display with the damp cloth until it is completely clean.
  5. Then clean the device all around. The front and back, cracks and the plug connections should be cleaned.
  6. Slots or bushes can be carefully cleaned with a toothpick. You can also blow into the headphone jack to remove dust and crumbs
  7. A toothpick or a damp cloth can also help with stuck buttons.
