Steps to Clean Your iPhone: 

1. Power Off Your iPhone Always turn off your device and unplug it from any power source before cleaning.

2. Wipe the Exterior Gently wipe the front, back, and sides using a soft, lint-free cloth. Slightly dampen it with distilled water or 70% isopropyl alcohol for deeper cleaning.

3. Clean the Screen Use a microfiber cloth, lightly dampened with alcohol if needed. Avoid spraying directly on the screen.

4. Disinfect (Optional) You can use Apple-approved Clorox Disinfecting Wipes or similar, but avoid excess moisture and be gentle around ports and buttons.

5. Clean Ports & Speaker Grills Use a dry toothbrush or soft brush to gently remove debris. Avoid using anything sharp. You can also use a dry cotton swab for tighter areas.

Avoid These Mistakes: 

  • Don’t use bleach or abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t spray liquid directly on your iPhone
  • Don’t submerge your iPhone in water (even if it’s water-resistant)
  • Avoid compressed air—it can damage internal components

Pro-tip:  Regularly clean your phone case too! Bacteria builds up quickly, especially on cases made of silicone or leather.

It only takes a few minutes and the appropriate equipment to clean your iPhone; it doesn't have to be difficult. Regular gentle cleaning will keep your gadget germ-free, functioning properly, and looking brand new. Just keep in mind to be kind, stay away from harsh chemicals, and never let moisture inside.
