Wondering how to clean your phone case effectively and without damaging your precious accessory? You've come to the right place! In this article, we will show you different methods to clean and disinfect your phone case, regardless of the material it is made of. Follow our tips and tricks to keep your phone case in perfect condition.
Basic method: cleaning with soap and water
The first step to cleaning your phone case is the simplest and most commonly used method: a good old-fashioned soap and water cleaning. Here's how to do it:
Remove the case from your phone and make sure it's empty (no bank cards, bills, etc.).
Prepare a mixture of warm water and mild soap (like Marseille soap or dishwashing liquid).
Dip a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge into the mixture and wring it out so that it is damp, but not dripping.
Wipe the case with the damp cloth, focusing on dirty or stained areas.
Rinse the case with clean water and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.
This method is best suited for plastic, silicone and TPU cases. Just be careful not to submerge the case completely in water, as this could damage the adhesive or fabric parts (if your case has them).
Disinfecting your phone case
In our daily lives, our phones come into contact with many surfaces and can easily accumulate bacteria and viruses. It is therefore important to regularly disinfect your phone case to protect yourself and those around you. Here's how to do it:
After cleaning your case with one of the previous methods, prepare a solution of water and 70° alcohol (70% alcohol and 30% water).
Soak a soft, clean cloth with the alcohol solution, then wring it out well so that it is damp, but not dripping.
Gently wipe the case with the alcohol-soaked cloth. Be sure to wipe over all areas of the case, including corners and nooks.
Let the case air dry for a few minutes before putting it back on your phone.
This will effectively remove any bacteria and viruses from your phone case. However, be careful not to use pure alcohol, as it may damage certain materials, such as leather or plastic.
