How often do you clean your screen?

I use the inside of my t-shirt when it gets oily enough to bug me which is quite often! No screen protector and I'm using the apple black leather case on my 6. I used to be one of those people who obsess about every little hairline scratch and ding and dent. Not anymore! I'll probably get a new phone every two or three years! That being said I'm still very careful with my devices and I always keep my phone in my front pocket with nothing else and it's still looking great after a few months use. Life's too short to worry about these phones so much!
 
I wipe the screen with my thumb when I think it looks smudged. I've never wiped it with a cloth as such, plus my screen protector on my iPhone 6 is battered from being in my pocket with coins etc.
 
Every Sunday I take my iPhone & iPad out of their cases, and give them a good clean.

Other than that, I let them be.

I use the microfibre cloth that came with my iMac, and "hot air" from my mouth.

I NEVER use cleaning sprays & such.

Not needed, at all ...
 
Multiple times a day. I absolutely hate the feeling of greasy phones (and greasy hands).
 
Maybe once a week at this point. I'll just wipe it on my pants from time to time.
 
I use a glass screen protector on my iPhone 6 Plus with the original  leather case.

At home I use a Micro Fibre cloth to clean the iPhone and iPad Air.

When out and about I use the bottom edge of my shirt.

No sprays or wet wipe style tissues.

It makes me shudder when I see people lick their thumbs and rub over their screen.

Yuk
 
i usually wife my screen every 2 weeeknds. but i have a case and screen protector, so little dirt and it looks mint
 
I swab mine down with 70% isopropyl alcohol when I get home. I have a thin TPU case and screen protector installed so I don't worry about damage since it's mostly the case and film getting wiped.

Isopropyl alcohol works great on oil and grease, and will knock out the plague.

So I usually end up cleaning once per day. I polish with a micro fiber cloth afterwards.
 
I have a tempered glass protector on the screen of my 5s, and a brown Apple leather case. I wipe the screen almost every time I pick up the phone, usually on my t shirt !
And I handle it as much as possible to get the "worn" look on the case.
 
Depends how often it gets bogies and food dried onto the screen. I usually wipe it down once every couple of days.
 
Every day with a small squirt of peroxide then a quick blast with windex, your hands touch everything all day and are the dirtiest part of your body so, cleaning a screen that your hands touched just makes sense.

If I have the 6, in the lifeproof case I'll wash the whole case each morning with soap and water.
 
I used to have a screen protector on my iPhone, but then I got sick of it and so far, my iPhone only has a minor scratch that I can barely see. I clean the screen about once per week, but it's weird because the front pocket from my jeans and shorts clean the fingerprints.
 
I'd say about 10 times a day. Sometimes more. I'm a bit OCD with keeping my screen clean.

When I first got my iPhone a couple weeks ago Id wipe the screen down with the cloth it came with about once or twice a day. Now I find that I dont really even pay attention to the smudges on the screen because as soon as you wipe them off they are right back the next time you use it. Its probably been 5 days since I last cleaned my screen.

Are you obsessed with keeping a clean screen?
