How To Clean And Disinfect Your iPhone Properly By zollotech

Hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and I, wanted to show you how to clean and disinfect your iPhone since it's one of the dirtiest places since you're touching it all day, it's in your pocket, it's in contact with different surfaces, and so I thought I'd show you how to properly clean it according to Apple. Apple has just recently updated their information on what you can do to actually clean or disinfect your device. So I want to show you how to do that now in the past. I would only recommend something like this I clear. This is something I've used for years to clean my phone before making a video or just clean it regularly, and this has designed for phones and screens, and things like that and most of the time I've said to avoid things like isopropyl alcohol on your display because it can damage the oleo phobic coating. But recently Apple has updated their website to say that you can use isopropyl alcohol, that's just normal rubbing alcohol.

It may be called something else in different countries, but it's normal rubbing alcohol. You can use to disinfect things. It will take care of about 99% of things as far as disinfecting, or you can also now use Clorox wipes or Lysol wipes according to Apple. Now you can do that, but there's a couple different ways. You need to do that in order not to damage the display.

So the first thing you'll need to do is get a soft, clean, lint-free, towel or cloth and then also make sure the device is unplugged. Now once it's unplugged you're good to go. So what you want to do, though, is you want to avoid excessive wiping? Which means you don't want to scrub the display and the reason you don't want to do. That is again. You want to try to avoid taking off the oleo phobic coating or the coating that prevents your fingerprints from showing up from the oil on your fingers.

It means it's oil, phobic or afraid of oil, so it goes away. So you want to just take say this 70%, isopropyl, alcohol or again a Lysol wipe or something like that squirt a little on there and then just wipe the phone down quickly. You don't want to keep scrubbing the phone now. If you have a screen protector on there. You can be less concerned about that, but you don't want to use anything abrasive.

Just go around the phone, real quick! You can see. There's liquid on their go around it, real quick, disinfect your phone, and you should be good to go as far as that goes. You want to do the same with a Lysol wipe or a Clorox wipe you don't want to leave anything on there, and one thing you definitely do not want to use is any raised directly on the phone, so you don't to spray the phone or anything like that or get it into any ports, and you also don't want to use bleaches hydrogen peroxide or other abrasives that might scratch the phone. So those things you definitely do not want to use on the phone according to Apple and again, don't spray directly into the ports. Now, if you do want to clean the ports such as the earphone or the bottom speakers and microphone, you can do that with a q-tip or a couple other ways.

So if you have a q-tip here like this, and you just want to put a little of the rubbing alcohol on it, then you just clean out the ports the best you can like this. Now, if you have a bunch of dirt in there or dust and things that you can't get out, you can use a couple different things to do that. Some people have suggested using sticky tack, which is stuff you to hang things on the wall with that won't leave residue behind. So you can just press that in here, and I'll link some of this in the description as well, but just press it in there that should take care of it and then, if you want to clean out the Lightning port, you can do that as well. Now, if you go to an Apple Store, 99% of the time, you'll see them clean it out with a SIM card removal tool.

I, don't know that I would suggest that, because there's metal pins in there- and you have to be extremely careful, so you don't want to force anything in there and in fact, I would suggest. Maybe using a toothpick or something like that very gently, but basically you just want to go in and across and that's it just lift out, and you'll usually get a little of lint from inside the Lightning port, but normally I would suggest using a toothpick or something along those lines to keep it clean, and so that will clean everything off and then, of course, put it back in a case or if you're not using a case, just clean it regularly, and so that will keep your phone nice and clean and disinfected people often ask me: how do I keep my phone so clean before videos and things like that? Well, it's generally because I'm wiping it down with a cleaner, like I, clear or another one. There are some new cleaners on the market that will actually disinfect as well, and I'm. Sure you'll probably see more and more of those going forward, but I'll link some of those. You don't have to use this one, this one sort of leaves a film on there as well, but it's not a disinfectant.

So if you want to make sure that it's nice and germ-free as much as possible, of course, you could just use a normal alcohol wipe as well. If you have, those have access to those or a Clorox white would work just as fine as well, but that's it pretty simple and straightforward. If you have any other questions, though, let me know in the comments below and let me know what you used to clean your phone as well. You should be doing this regularly. I would say: do it daily as I do just to keep everything clean and then make sure of course you wash your hands after you do that, and then everything will be nice and clean, and you'll prevent spreading any sort of germs, and things like that.

But let me know what you do to clean your phone in the description below and how often you do and of course, if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper, I'll link it in the description as I always do.
