Keeping Your Devices Disinfected and Safe? We Explain!

In times of isolation and quarantine due to COVID-19, all precautions are welcome and the cleaning of Gadgetsis no exception!

Did you know that a smartphone can be 10 times dirtier than a toilet?

Yes, most dirt is imperceptible to the human eye and sometimes we only find ourselves needing to clean some equipment when it is

strong>visibly dirty and/or feels greasy to the touch.

Our Quality Manager, Edgar Fernandes, advised some products and strategies cleaning supplies that we are going to leave here so that, this time, we can be twice as careful with our health, just as Forall Phones is with the products it sells. span>

First of all, wash your hands. This is an essential step these days to start any cleaning process safely.

Now we can start. Before cleaning any equipment, you should always turn it off and disconnect it from any cable it is connected to.

Can you guess the Next step?One ??thing is certain, you will definitely not start by using water, ethyl alcohol or bleach. These options could damage your equipment beyond repair and that's not what we want at all.

Let's start by choosing two clothssoft. Cloths similar to glasses cloth are more than sufficient and suitable for this task. Place one of the cloths on the surface you are using, so that it serves as a base for the cell phone and the other cloth will be used for cleaning.

Preferably you should use isopropyl alcohol together with another liquid of cleaning (containing disinfectant). However, we know that you will probably only choose one of these options, as there is a lack of alcohol stock in supermarkets. Regardless, the cleaning strategies are always the same as follows:

  • 1. Place the equipmenton one of the cloths.
  • 2. Always start with the LCD, spray on the bottom of the LCD (to avoid clogging the headphone jack), let it act for a few seconds and wipe.
  • 3. The next step consists of turning the equipment, placing it with the back facing up and doing exactly the same strategy, avoiding the rear microphone.

Prevent as much as possible that the product enters these holes or any charging or earphone ports.

  • 4. Finally, you should return to the LCD, spray again and then wipe the corners of the equipment.
  • 5. You can use tweezers or some tip of the dry cloth to remove any lint or debris accumulated in the holes of the cell phone, such as the charging hole.

If you use both products (alcohol and disinfectant liquid), the alcohol must be placed in first and then you must repeat the process with the cleaning liquid.

Attention, anything in excess is bad, therefore, you should not rub too much or with too much pressure on any surface of the device, nor should you disinfect or clean equipment too much as this could damage it.

Where to buy Isopropyl alcohol and cleaning liquids?

Regarding alcohol, under normal circumstances, you would be able to find it for sale either in online stores, supermarkets, pharmacies or electronic equipment stores .

Regarding cleaning liquids, which at the moment are easier to find than alcohol, you can go to supermarkets and/or health stores. electronics.

But be careful, this liquid must contain disinfectant in its composition and be anti-microbial, if otherwise it will not disinfect, it will only clean superficially.

We leave below some examples of the disinfection liquids used in Forall Phones and recommended by our Quality Manager.

And the covers? Can they also be cleaned?

Yes! The covers Second Skin and Ultra Slim Basic from the Forall Phones brand can be washed with soap and water without any problems. However, if your cover is made of fabric, leather or another material other than silicone, you should avoid these methods and be aware that it is likely to change color after cleaning with any other product.

Fantastic, you've reached the end of cleaning your equipment, do you know what's missing? Wash your hands, again!

At Forall Phoneswe also redoubled our care with hygiene in production and in the information we provide to our customers, when it comes to opening packaging in security after being delivered by the carriers!
