Cleaning kits
Clean hands can quickly become contaminated when you pick up your phone or tablet. Disinfecting handheld devices at least daily is a good idea.
Microfiber cloth
For phones, first, turn off the device and then remove it from the case. Next, wipe it down with a microfiber cloth to remove surface dirt and oils. Disinfect by wiping with a Clorox or Lysol wipe, avoiding the ports.
