Do you wash your hands before you handle your iPhone, each and every time?
Chances are, whatever mobile gear you carry around in your pocket could use a good cleaning.
We suggest you pick up a couple of microfiber cloths.
Never use a paper towel or other paper-based towels as they can leave scratches on the screen.
For fingerprint smudges, dust, and lint, wipe the screen gently using a dry microfiber cloth.
Avoid getting moisture in any openings like the speaker or mic.
If the stain remains, you’re able to also try using a mild soap-and-water solution.
When your equipment is completely dry, put the battery back in and turn it on.
Of course, you’ll now find plenty of specialty cleaning sprays available for this very purpose.
But they tend to be way overpriced for what they are (alcohol and water).
What if my rig gets wet?
There are also a couple of companies that make kits that claim to dry out wet devices.
One such kit is called the “Dry-All First Aid Kit” and is available from Amazon.com.
