How to clean a phone case

Keeping your phone case clean is an important part of maintaining the overall look and longevity of your device. But with so many different materials, designs, and styles of cases on the market, it can be difficult to know the best way to clean them. In this article, we’ll explore some of the most effective techniques for cleaning your phone case, as well as the materials and tools you’ll need to get the job done.

One of the first things to consider when cleaning your phone case is the type of material it is made from. For example, if your case is made from a hard plastic or silicone, you can use a mild detergent and water to clean it. A soft microfiber cloth or a toothbrush can be used to gently scrub away any dirt or grime.

If your case is made from a more delicate material like leather or suede, it’s best to use a specialised cleaner specifically made for that type of material. There are many options available, both in-store and online, that are safe and effective for cleaning leather and suede.

Another option for cleaning your phone case is to use a disinfecting wipe or a solution of 50/50 water and white vinegar. The key is to make sure that your case is dry before you put it back on your phone.

The entire process of cleaning your phone case should take no more than 10-15 minutes, depending on the level of dirt and grime. There are some risks when cleaning your phone case, such as using the wrong cleaner or applying too much pressure which can cause damage to the case or phone. It’s important to make sure that you’re using the right cleaner for the type of case you have, and to be gentle when scrubbing or cleaning.

If your phone case is made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), as all our premium phone cases are, it’s important to be aware that this material is relatively delicate and can be easily damaged by harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods.

A good method for cleaning a TPU case is to use a mild detergent, such as a small amount of dish soap, mixed with warm water. Use a microfiber cloth or a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away any dirt or grime. Avoid using abrasive materials like steel wool or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface of the case.

Another option is to use a disinfecting wipe or a solution of 50/50 water and white vinegar. Be sure to wipe down the case with a clean, damp cloth to remove any leftover cleaning solution.

It’s also important to make sure that your TPU case is completely dry before putting it back on your phone to avoid any potential damage. The process of cleaning a TPU case should take around 5-10 minutes, depending on the level of dirt and grime.

As a reminder, TPU is a delicate material, and it’s important to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods to avoid any damage. Always use a mild detergent and a soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth, and be sure to wipe down the case with a clean, damp cloth to remove any leftover cleaning solution.

In conclusion, keeping your phone case clean is an important part of maintaining the overall look and longevity of your device. With the right techniques, materials, and tools, you can easily and effectively clean your phone case, leaving it looking like new. Just be sure to be gentle and use the appropriate cleaner for the type of case you have to avoid any risks of damage.
