What cleaning products do I need?
This is undoubtedly the first of the questions that arise. Cleaning items and tools. Some of those we are going to offer here will already be present in your home, as these are fairly traditional cleaning items, however, we’ll link you to all of our offerings in case you need to make a last-minute purchase.
- Isopropylic alcohol: This alcohol is specifically designed to perform this type of cleaning without damaging electronic components. In this way we will ensure that during the development process the result is ideal, without compromising the structure or functionality of the elements we are dealing with. It has a very low cost and you can probably buy it in your trusted supermarket.
- Precision brush: Like any other brush we use to clean shoes, textiles or surfaces, but in a noticeably smaller size. With these brushes we will be able to properly clean the holes corresponding to the Lightning port, the microphones and of course also the speakers.
- Window cleaner: It is the ideal element to clean in particular the frames, the screen and the rear window of our iPhone. This way it will shine like new without causing any damage.
- microfiber cloths: Last but not least, which may be the most necessary element, these cloths will allow us to clean our device without causing scratches. It is interesting that we always choose options designed to clean glass or steel, because this way we ensure that we do not create micro-abrasions on our devices.
- A toothpick or “toothpick”.
Since we already have the shopping list, it’s time to get to work and clean up.
How to clean iPhone
The first thing we’re going to do is take a small container (shot glass, coffee or similar) and fill it to 20% capacity with some isopropyl alcohol, since we are going to need it to lightly wet the cleaning brush.
second act we’re going to take one of the microfiber cloths and we’re going to put it on the table. We will work over this fabric, which will be used exclusively for this. At this point we are going to remove the cover and, moistening one of the microfiber cloths with glass cleaner, we will proceed to clean the cover from the inside, especially on the edges, where dirt usually gets in inside. When we’re done with the blanket, we’ll place it outside the fabric, we’re done with it.
The next is clean the grilles, microphones and headphones. To do this we will dip the brush in isopropyl alcohol, we dry the excess alcohol on the tablecloth that is on the table, and we will make horizontal movements, from side to side, never pressing, but “sweeping”, on the screen handset. Then we will also repeat the action in the lower grilles where both the speaker and the microphone of the iPhone are located. It is important at this point not to put pressure on the grids, because in this case, instead of cleaning the dirt, we would be introducing it inside the iPhone.
Whenever we’ve finished cleaning the corresponding grids, it’s time to grab the toothpick. We will introduce it without forcing,
We will introduce it on one side and we will sweep on the other side, trying to extract any type of fluff that was inside. It is extremely important that we do not exert any kind of pressure, because we could damage the Lightning port, which is quite delicate.
You’ll be amazed at how much lint and dirt you can get out of it. Now that our iPhone is almost ready, the easiest comes. We will very lightly dampen a microfiber cloth in glass cleaner, and we will pass the cloth with gentle movements through the bezels of the iPhone, the back and finally the screen. At this point it is important to bear in mind that if we have tempered glass we must exert a little pressure on the sides so that the cloth properly cleans the dirt that remains between the tempered glass and the screen of the l ‘iPhone. This would be the last step and we would already have our iPhone clean as a whistle.
How to Clean AirPods
To clean our Airpods We are going to use the exact same products that we used to clean the iPhone, and in addition, the same cleaning tips will come in handy:
