Apple had discouraged previously all users from cleaning an iPhone using a disinfectant wipe or an alcohol-based product as they might damage the coating or screen of the device. But now, Apple finally says Ok to clean and disinfect your iPhone using a disinfectant wipe; the company is giving an approval amid the increasing trajectory of numbers of infected people all over the world caused by the coronavirus.

The maker of iPhone noted on its webpage for cleaning Apple products the approval of use of Clorox disinfecting wipes or any similar product that contains at least 70% isopropyl alcohol to as “gently” wipe the hard non-porous surfaces. It includes the keyboards, exterior surfaces, and display.

Never use bleach as a cleaning aid. You need also to prevent any opening to enter moisture and never submerge any Apple devices to any cleaning agents. Also, never use leather or fabric to the surface.

Any form of liquids or water might even get inside the open spaces, mostly on mobile devices that do not contain an IP rating such as the Galaxy Z Flip model. As a result, you may damage your phone.

For cleaning and disinfecting your phone, you may dampen a corner of your cleaning fabric using a small amount of disinfectant or distilled water.

You can also apply alcohol-based products (formulated with more than 70% ethanol or isopropyl alcohol) and hypochlorous acid-based (50-80ppm) solutions and gently wipe the front and back of your phone without exerting too much pressure.

Avoid wiping the phone extremely. Samsung is being careful also with applying spray bleaches, or compressed air or using liquid solutions directly on mobile devices. These particular cleaning solutions are made for ceramic, metal surfaces or glasses, and not for soft accessories such as products made from materials like leather, plastic, and rubber.

Also, if you are using protective covers or cases on your phone, it is always a good idea to clean and disinfect them together with your phone.
