When it comes to quality, the iPhone® and other Apple® products are consistently at the very top of their class. That's why proper care is so crucial, including keeping your device clean, sanitary, and enjoyable. Regular cleaning will keep the device in good shape while also ensuring it's free from germs and bacteria. Here's a closer look at what you should do to keep your iPhone pristine. 

What You'll Need to Clean Your iPhone

All you really need to clean your device is a slightly moist, lint-free microfiber cloth. It's essential to avoid using paper towels or anything with an abrasive texture, as this may scratch the glass. If there's a sticky substance on the iPhone that you wish to remove, apply a small amount of mild dish soap to the cloth. 

It's not usually necessary to use cleaning products on the device, thanks to its oil-resistant coating, which repels fingerprints. This makes the microfiber cloth sufficient to keep the screen, back, and sides smudge-free. 

However, you may need to disinfect the iPhone from time to time. In this case, you can use a wipe containing a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution or some other type of store-brand disinfecting wipe. Don't use products with bleach, as they can damage the device. 

How to Clean the Device Safely

Make sure your Apple product is unplugged and powered down before you begin cleaning. Start by wiping the damp cloth over the device, and feel free to add soap for stubborn stains. If you're disinfecting the phone, do so after wiping it down. Once you're finished, take a dry microfiber cloth and remove any excess moisture. 

Only use a small amount of water when cleaning, and take care to avoid any openings. Never use abrasive cleansers or spray cleaning solutions directly onto the iPhone. The use of compressed air is also not recommended, as it might harm delicate components inside the device.
