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 oleophobic 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 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
oleophobic 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 bit 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 there 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 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 bit 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 bit
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 use 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
