GET A COVER WITH FLIP OPEN FRONT<\/strong><\/p>\nA case with a cover allows you to flip open to your phone like a book can help prevent germs\u00a0from your environment come into contact with your phone. It\u2019s a small change that might be worth it if you\u2019ve been thinking about getting a new phone case.<\/p>\n
WASH HANDS OFTEN<\/strong><\/p>\n Washing your hands regularly with soap ensures your hands stay clean and germ-free throughout the day. Cleaner hands mean a cleaner phone. Lazy people often seem to avoid this or a sink might not always be present nearby; it is always best to carry a hand sanitizer around. Look for a basic hand sanitizer that contains alcohol. The alcohol will kill up to 99% of all bacteria on your hands.<\/p>\n DON\u2019T WIPE YOUR PHONE WITH AN ABRASIVE CLOTH OR PAPER TOWEL<\/strong><\/p>\n The rough fibres of paper towels and abrasive cloths can scratch the phone\u2019s display surface, even when moistened. And not only will these scratches make your display difficult to read, they will become trenches where more bacteria can breed and hence more germs.<\/p>\n KEEP PHONE AWAY FROM THE DINING TABLE<\/strong><\/p>\n While you browse your smartphone, there\u2019s still a chance that traces of food on your hands and your\u00a0food-filled saliva\u00a0could be transferred to it while you eat. You\u2019re better off putting your phone out of sight while you eat and washing your hands before you touch your phone having meals.<\/p>\n LIMIT THE PLACES WHERE YOU KEEP YOUR PHONE<\/strong><\/p>\n Try not to take your smartphone to the bathroom with you. From the toilet handle to the sink knob, bathrooms are bacteria breeding grounds. Secondly, just make sure you watch out where you leave it. Placing it near the sink, a dinner table or trash can is just asking for trouble.<\/p>\n LIMIT HANDS TOUCHING YOUR PHONE<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t be too generous with handing\u00a0your phone over to other people. <\/strong>If others reach out for your phone anyway, well, plan on washing your phone later that day or evening. You don\u2019t know the last time they washed their hands or what they\u2019ve touched since then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your mobile phone, that thing that\u2019s probably attached to your hand most of the day, is a magnet for germs. We carry it almost everywhere we go- office, public washrooms, keep them anywhere while travelling, on desks etc. Where we use our phones\u00a0and what sorts of activities we were doing prior to tapping away at their touchscreens directly affects how dirty they get.
