As the title says - how do you clean your phone?

I’ve been using a microfiber towel with a little Lysol spray on it - anyone else?
 
iCloths.

Use them at my work and they are awesome. I ended up having to buy a bunch for myself.
 
I clean it with alcohol, and 2 coats of Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Wax Coating. Works like an oleophobic coating for the entire phone. Lasts about 6 months.

Soap and water. Basically like washing my hands. I’m not joking. It’s water-resistant after all.
 
Agree with the 70% alcohol and sometimes a gentle ripped up end of a minimally fuzzy qtip for the port.

Be careful with that stuff. Car coatings are different than oleophobic coatings for smartphone screens. You could be ingesting some of that SiO2 slowly over time as it wears off onto your fingers and who knows what that can do to your stomach/digestive system over time.

Just saying this as a TW hybrid ceramic user on my own car lol. I thought about doing that but I read online something about any coatings on things you constantly touch can be harmful over time.

Thanks for the heads up! I hadn’t considered that.
