Probably two or three times a week, minimum, here.

    never. never even considered it, actually. it’s in my pocket most of the time I’m not using it and I dont let other people touch it.

    Every time I get home and I know I’ve been touching a lot of stuff (i.e. grocery shopping). I just wipe it down with a napkin and rubbing alcohol.

    Maybe once every 5 years when I get a new phone. My current one is about 4 years old. It doesn’t seem particularly dirty.

    At random times, honestly. Usually when I am bored and get the phone out of the case just to see how dirty the sides and back are. Along with that, I clean the display as well, though with only a fiber clothing.

    Every time it’s been outside the house, or as needed (fingerprints etc). I use alcohol-based disinfectant on a piece of soft paper towel.

    Honestly, once every 3-4 months I take the case out and give it a wipe with the help of isopropyl alcohol. I thought I was dirty, but I’m seeing that I’m one of the cleaner people.

    If it’s dirty, I wipe it with a microfiber cloth. I don’t wash it or anything, after all I’m the only one touching it and I wash hands and keep regular hygiene. If I’d be working in a hospital or other place where increased hygiene would be necessary, I’d do it more often. When I still work in the kitchen, I just left my phone in my locker, washed my hands before my shift (and during of course) and it’s not realy a big deal.

    People shouldn’t obsess over germs that much.

    I use a microfibre cloth and wipe down the screen/camera lens every 2 days ish.

    Maybe once a month I take off the case and give the full phone a wipe down

    Maybe twice a month I’ll get that ADD tick to take my case off and deep clean the entire phone, charging port included. That part specifically reminds me of picking belly-button lint.

      There’s something strangely satisfying about scraping out a huge ball of fuzz and being able to charge your phone again!
