Hi all

How do you clean your phone to kill viruses? Is there a way? Confused

Use a wipe with 60% alcohol I guess (they have them now at my gym). But unless you are sharing your phone I wouldn't think it an issue.

I use milton wipes they are £2 at tesco.

I'm the only person who uses my phone.
What is the actual issue ?

I just washed mine with a wet kitchen towel with washing up liquid.

Just use the dettol wipes/kitchen roll with dettol spray??

The issue is that we touch things outside that might have the virus on them and then touch the phone, so they virus spreads.

We’ve got a spray that claims to be effective against most viruses.

We all use this spray on some kitchen towel to clean our phones after work / school each day and then wash our hands in hot, soapy water.

The kids think I’m mad but are going along with it for now.....

I use anti bac, alcohol based lens cleaner wipes (for my glasses)
Got some strong ones from Dunhelm yesterday.

AnotherMurkyDay · 05/03/2020 23:14

I wipe mine with a Milton wipe. I keep them in my bag all the time for dummies and things and they don't seem to leave the screen smeary like anti bac wipes (though I do still use them sometimes too)
