12 Steps How To Clean A Silicone Phone Case

How To Clean A Silicone Phone Case - Cleaning your silicone case is important as germs and dirt can build up. You can use soap and water to clean silicone, but any harsh detergents should be avoided. In a pinch, disinfecting wipes are a great way to rid your case of bacteria. Make an effort to give your cabinet a thorough scrubbing about once a month and disinfect it at least once a week.

1. Take your phone out of its case to clean it. You must remove your silicone phone case before you can thoroughly clean it. Gently stretch a corner of your case to peel it off your phone. Continue lifting the silicone case around the perimeter of the phone until you can fully pull the device out.

Avoid pulling the silicone hard enough to damage or tear it.

2. Add 1-2 drops of dish soap to 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water. The best cleaning solution for your silicone case is warm, soapy water. Add dish soap to a cup of warm water to ensure the soap is properly dissolved in it. Stir the mixture until slightly foamy.

3. Dip a clean toothbrush into the soapy water and scrub your case. Soak a clean toothbrush in your soap mixture for 1-2 minutes, then apply to your silicone case. Scrub the case in small, circular motions. Focus on any smudges or caked dirt to get your phone case as clean as possible.

Dip the toothbrush back into the soapy water every few seconds to ensure a thorough cleaning.

4. Sprinkle a pinch of baking soda on stubborn dirt or stains. Baking soda can help remove oil stains, dirt, or debris on your phone case that is difficult to remove. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda directly onto the stained area. Continue scrubbing the case with the toothbrush.

5. Rinse the housing thoroughly under water. When you're done scrubbing, rinse the soapy mixture off your phone in the sink. Use warm water as opposed to hot or cold water. When rinsing, gently rub the case to ensure no soap is left on it.

6. Allow the case to dry completely before putting your phone back in. Putting your phone back into its case when it's still wet can damage it and allow bacteria to build up in the case. Blot your phone case with a paper towel to remove as much water as possible. Then let your case sit for about an hour to ensure it is dry and ready to use.

If you're pressed for time, try drying your phone case with a hair dryer on the lowest setting for a few seconds.

7. Clean your case once a month to minimize germs and stains. Daily use of your cell phone means regular transfer of oil and bacteria between you and your device. Keep germs and dirt to a minimum by cleaning your phone case inside and out at least once a month. To remind yourself, set a monthly reminder or make a note on your calendar or agenda.

• Weekly disinfection of the housing

1. Remove your phone from the case to ensure you remove any germs. Disinfecting just the outside of your phone case is ineffective as bacteria can remain between your phone and the case. Always take your phone out to thoroughly disinfect the case. Be sure to fight germs on both the inside and outside of the silicone case for the best results.

2. Wipe down your case with a disinfectant wipe at least once a week. Rub a disinfectant wipe over the entire interior and exterior surface of the case. Allow the case to dry for several minutes. When you're sure it's dry, put your phone back in.

This is also a great way to quickly sanitize your phone case if it comes into contact with germs.

3. Rub the case with isopropyl alcohol to kill germs if you don't have wipes. Apply rubbing alcohol to a cotton swab or cotton ball. Wipe the alcohol-soaked cotton swab over both the inside and outside of your phone case. This will kill any bacteria that linger on the case.

The rubbing alcohol should dissolve within seconds of application.

4. Put your phone back in the case once it's dry. Make sure there is no moisture in the case as this could damage your phone. Wait a few extra minutes to ensure the case is completely dry before putting it back on your phone.

5. Avoid using harsh cleaning products on your case. Strong, concentrated detergents can damage silicone items. Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals on your phone case. This can include:

household cleaners

window cleaner

Cleaner with ammonia

Cleaner with hydrogen peroxide

aerosol sprays

solvent
