Cleaning Outside The Box

Cleaning Outside the Box: Why Your Cell Phones and Remote Controls Need More Attention

Hey there, busy bees!

Let’s face it: we all have a love-hate relationship with cleaning. While we might be diligent about washing dishes, vacuuming floors, and dusting shelves, we often overlook two of the dirtiest items in our homes—our cell phones and remote controls. Yes, you read that right! These little gadgets carry more germs than you might imagine.

The Hidden Germ Magnets

Think about it. How often do you touch your phone and remote control every single day? They go from your hands to various surfaces and even sometimes end up in the hands of your kids (who knows where their hands have been!). These devices are exposed to all kinds of bacteria and germs, yet they are rarely cleaned with the same rigor as other household items.

Why Should You Clean Them?

1. Health First: Germs, bacteria, and viruses can easily transfer from your hands to your face, increasing the risk of illnesses. In fact, studies have shown that cell phones can carry more germs than a toilet seat!
2. Longevity: Keeping your devices clean can extend their lifespan. Dust and grime can get into the tiny crevices and damage the internal components over time.
3. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your frequently touched items are clean can give you a sense of peace, especially in a world where health and hygiene are more critical than ever.

How to Clean Your Cell Phone and Remote Control

Cleaning these devices doesn’t have to be a chore. Here’s a simple guide to keep them spick and span:

For Cell Phones:

• Turn off your phone to avoid any mishaps.
• Remove the case and accessories.
• Use a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the phone.
• Avoid getting moisture in any openings like the charging port or headphone jack.
• Clean the case separately with soap and water and let it dry completely before putting it back on. Bonus tip- Use a Q tip to get into those little spaces and corners

For Remote Controls:

• Remove the batteries before cleaning.
• Use a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of water and a little bit of mild soap.
• Use a cotton swab or a toothpick to remove dirt from the crevices around the buttons.
• Let it dry completely before reinserting the batteries.
