By admin | January 26, 2008

When you get an Apple Iphone you will want it to last as long as possible by taking good care of it. There are various products on the market that are designed to keep your phone safe but even if you decide to invest in such products you should also make an effort to regularly clean your iPhone. As the iPhone sports a unique touch sensitive screen many people are afraid of cleaning it for fear of causing damage.Of course, when you are cleaning your iPhone, you don’t want to simply wash it with any type of cleaners, because these cleaners could actually cause the iPhone to malfunction, thus giving you a defective product. When you are cleaning your iPhone, you must ensure that you take extra care, and don’t do it if you are in a rush. The reason behind this is because if you are lazy, or in a hurry, you may damage the inner workings of the iPhone, as well as the ever important screen. When you are cleaning your iPhone, there are several items that you must have. These items will allow you to effectively clean your phone without damaging the sensitive touch screen or the inner workings of your fantastic cell phone.You will need water and a microfiber cloth available when you clean your iPhone. It also helps it you have your favorite CD to hand so that you can be more relaxed and make your cleaning task more enjoyable. Do not ever use any type of chemical agents on your iPhone as these may cause damage to the screen. You should start off by placing some water in a small cup. Next take your microfiber cloth and dip the corner of it into the water, allowing it to become saturated. You can pick up microfiber cloths from one of the many iPhone retailers.Before starting to clean your iPhone you need to check that you aren’t using too much water. You can check this by using either a mirror or a piece of glass and wiping off a corner with the wet cloth. If you see streaming drops of water coming from where you wiped then you have too much water and should let the cloth dry out before proceeding.You want to be able to wipe your iPhone screen without having drops of water left behind. Next, take the slightly wetted cloth and begin to wipe the screen of your iPhone in a up-and-down motion. Do not wipe in circles, because this can leave behind smudges that are unsightly when you turn on your iPhone. It will usually take one or two wipes to clean the entire surface of your iPhone. How often you clean your iPhone depends on how much you use it. Since the screen of your phone is the interface to the entire product, than you will be using it constantly, thus the oils from your fingers will begin to build up and create a dingy look to the screen. Average users clean their iPhone once a week, maybe once every two weeks.
