Is it bad to sanitize your phone?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
I often sanitize my phone with hand sanitizer lol.. I just wanted to know if it's bad for my phone?? will it affect the screen or anything??

You can buy cleansing wipes for your phone screen, if you are worried about germs, its better to sanitize your hands everyday.

Even a small amount of moisture like that used often has a good chance of getting into the phone and wrecking it - it is not water/liquid proof. Its not "bad" its just a poor idea and not necessary

Probably not necessary if you are the only person to handle the phone. . . . . . if you wish to continue, I would use something made to clean phones, not hands.

i had to throw my sky remote away because i had cleaned it well with wet wipes, inside and out

to get the buttons working again.

but it somehow gave it a smell that i hated, no matter how much i cleaned it, it smelled horrible to me.

so bye bye remote, i will think twice before i use wet wipes on things that can absorb.

There is a separate Yahoo section strictly for cell/mobile phones. It's located in the CONSUMER ELECTRONICS section.

Ask your question there, not in the CARS & TRANSPORTATION section.

alcohol damages plastics and rubber. dampen a non-lint cloth with mild detergent/water instead.

Not bad, continue

if your screen has any sort of anti glare coating on it then it will eventually rub off.

It can cause lung cancer.
