6 steps to sanitize your phone in Coronavirus outbreak!

The year 2020 will remain in the minds of people as the year of Coronavirus. Scientists are finding new information regarding the pattern about coronavirus and there is still lot to be researched. While we aren't 100% sure when this pandemic will get over and where it sticks around the surfaces, we surely know that your phone MAY have coronavirus on it!

Yes you read it right. According to a study that was published in The New England Journal of Medicine, COVID-19 remains on stainless steel and plastic for up to 72 hours. Cardboard holds the virus for about 24 hours, and COVID-19 only sticks on copper for 4 hours.

We will surely get to know more about the virus as the time goes on, but for now, its safe to say that the virus likes to stick on surfaces and stay there for a while.

How can you keep yourself safe then?

Well, we urge everyone to sanitize your phone on almost daily basis if you are going out due to unavoidable circumstances. In fact, even if you are staying at home completely, there is an equal urge to get your phones cleaned. For this, you don't have to go anywhere. You can follow these steps and disinfect your phone yourself.

For beginners, we would like to inform that bleach, vinegar and other harsh cleaning substances surely cleans your home, but it can cause damanges to your phone. Therefore, keep your Phone OUT OF RANGE from these substances.

One of the most easiest and effective way to clean your phone is by using sanitizer wipes. Follow these simple steps and give your phone a coronavirus-free label!

Step 1:

Remove your phone from case/cover and switch it off. (Make sure you wait till the phone is completely off else it may cause harm to your device). Use tapes to cover these ports and remove once the cleaning process is completed.

Step 2:

Polish it up with a microfibre cloth gently.

Step 3:

Gently use Lysol Wipes (or any other sanitizer wipes) on the screen and make sure you cover your Headphone and Charging ports properly. After cleaning, make sure you throw away the wipes into dustbin ONLY and wash your hands for atleast 20 seconds.

Step 4:

Let it dry for atleast 5-10 minutes

Step 5:

Wipe your phone with a paper towel or tissue paper to clean up any minute droplets left on your phone just in case.

Step 6:

Repeat the steps 2-5 also with your phone case to disinfect it from any kind of germs.

We highly recommend to use this method atleast twice a week to keep your phone and yourself safe from any kind of viruses and germs. Don't take this COVID-19 lightly. We hope the world becomes free from this pandemic at the earliest and request everyone to stay home. Life is the most important above all.
