Mobile phone cases can harbor germs, bacteria, and fungi, which can pose a risk to the user’s hands. Regular cleaning is essential, especially for transparent cases that tend to yellow over time. Here are effective methods, steps, and safe cleaning materials for keeping your phone case clean.
Steps to Clean a Transparent Phone Case
Remove the phone from the case
Never clean the case while the phone is inside. Liquids can damage the device.
If your case has both plastic and silicone components, separate them: remove the flexible silicone inner layer from the hard outer plastic shell.
Prepare a cleaning solution
Mix one drop of dishwashing liquid with one cup of warm water.
Stir gently to avoid excessive foam.
If dish soap is unavailable, you can use liquid hand soap or laundry detergent as alternatives.
Clean the case
Dip a soft sponge, microfiber cloth, or soft-bristled toothbrush in the solution.
Gently scrub the yellowed case, paying attention to corners and edges.
Use circular or back-and-forth motions without scrubbing too hard to avoid scratches.
Avoid brushes for wooden or leather cases, as they may damage the surface.
Rinse and dry
Rinse thoroughly to remove soap or cleaning solution.
Dry with a microfiber cloth or a dry cloth designed for screens or glasses.
Ensure all moisture is removed before reassembling the case with your phone.
Cleaning Materials to Avoid
Certain cleaning agents can damage your phone case, including:
Window cleaners not intended for plastic or silicone
Solvents or ammonia-based cleaners
Hydrogen peroxide
Abrasive powders or scouring agents
Tip: Often, just a single drop of dish soap in warm water is enough to restore your case.
