- Do not infiltrate the openings of the device with moisture:jack socket, earphones, charger...

- You must also use a very soft cloth so as not to scratch the screen. A paper towel or a paper towel could scratch the screen.

- First test on a very small surface to be sure that your smartphone supports this treatment.

Why does it work?

Household alcohol is household methylated spirits.

Thanks to its high concentration of alcohol, rubbing alcohol is a powerful disinfectant.

It destroys 99.9% of bacteria. It eliminates all microbes, viruses and bacteria.

In addition, household alcohol is super degreasing. It easily removes fingerprints and sebum that get stuck on the screen.

Your smartphone is thus perfectly clean.

And it works for all smartphones whether you have an iPhone (XS, XR, SE, 11, 12, 12 pro Max), or a Samsung (Galaxy, A51, A10, S10, Plus, S20), a Huawei (P30, Pro, P smart, Nova 7i, Y9s, P40 pro).

What not to do

Cleaning your smartphone is good. But you don't have to do anything.

Before you start cleaning your smartphone, always start by reading the manufacturer's recommendations.

Here's what you should never do:

- Run your smartphone under water.

- Immerse it in a cleaning product.

- Spray it directly with cleaning product.

- Use bleach or any other detergent or solvent that damages the screen or the shell.

- Use hydroalcoholic gel (the glycerin contained in the gel does not adhere to screens).

- Use alcohol that is too concentrated.

- Use abrasive cloths or towels.
