There are correct ways to clean the iPhone and wrong ways, and do not forget.Your phone is dirty and may cause you illness“. The cleaning method varies depending on the iPhone model you are carrying. In this article, we learn some important tips that you should keep in mind in general to clean your phone in a safe and accurate way.

The correct way to clean the iPhone and iPad

Avoid chemicals

Anything that is not water can damage the iPhone. Chemicals may lead to a weakening of the device’s water resistance, such as using "alcohol", as it leads to damage to the adhesive under the covers or the screen, other than leakage inside the screen layers and distorting them. And for your information, alcohol is often used in maintenance departments to remove the screens and back covers of any device, because it works to break down adhesives, as mentioned. It is best to use a slightly damp or dry cloth.

There are a few exceptions to the use of chemicals, including that warm water (not hot but warm) and soap can be used with the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, according to Apple. But we still strongly recommend that you not use any chemicals other than the mild "traditional liquid" soap. And we repeat this with the iPhone 11 only, not before.

Do not use rough towels or clothing

Yes, these coarse towels or even clothes do not use them to clean your phone because they contain mostly coarse fibers or petroleum materials, and it is preferable to use soft fabrics, especially those that are specially made for camera lenses or displays, and are often "microfiber".

Find out the water resistance rating of your device

Not all iPhones are water resistant. A small amount of liquid can cause major problems for iPhones, especially older iPhones. It is best to avoid immersing any appliance in water, even if it is waterproof, and be very careful with other devices.

Avoid cleaning with compressed air

Although compressed air can be useful during specific "we'll mention them later" situations, it is best to avoid its use.
