How to Properly Sanitize Your Smartphone

Apple says it is okay to use disinfectant wipes on your iPhone. If you have a screen protector on your phone, make sure that the alcohol content in your disinfectant wipes won’t mess it up. Also, be careful not to use any abrasive wipes on your phone, as the results will be sub-optimal. If you have a choice, use a microfiber wipe and don’t lend your phone to anyone for about 3 hours. That is the amount of time the CDC says the COVID-19 can live on a hard surface.
