Phone Hygiene: Keeping Your Device Clean

Phones are germ magnets—studies show they’re dirtier than toilet seats. Regular cleaning keeps them hygienic and resale-ready. Here’s how.

Wipe Down: Use a microfiber cloth with 70% isopropyl alcohol—safe for screens, kills bacteria. Do this weekly. No Water: Don’t dunk your phone; a damp cloth risks ports. Ports: Clear dust from charging slots with compressed air or a toothpick—gently. CDC says electronics need care, especially shared devices.

Dirty phones look bad and lose value. A clean one fetches more—Fixin’ with Fixsellr? We polish it before sale, ensuring 85% of the profit (e.g., $263.50 from a $350 sale with $40 repairs). It’s a small step with big payoff.

Cleaning Routine:

• Wipe after heavy use (gym, public transport).
• Avoid sprays—mist clogs internals.
• Sanitize cases too.

A clean phone is healthier and more sellable—keep it spotless.
