Keep your Galaxy phone clean
We all use our phones, tablets, and smart watches every day, and sometimes we may not realize exactly how often we touch the display, especially when we're checking messages, browsing the web, using apps, or unlocking the screen. To ensure you get the most out of your Galaxy device, keep it clean and hygienic. Caring for your device is straightforward, and we've got the basics covered right here.
Keep your Galaxy phone clean
Caution
These cleaning instructions are recommended for the glass, ceramic, and metal surfaces of your phone only. Accessories that are made of plastic, rubber, or leather may be damaged.
Properly clean your Galaxy device
Important
These instructions can be used with Galaxy phones, Galaxy tablets, and Galaxy watches (excluding the watch straps). These guidelines are not recommended for use on Galaxy Buds, keyboards (external keyboard and Galaxy laptop keyboards), or any other Samsung product not explicitly listed. If you need to clean your Galaxy earbuds, just follow our cleaning guide.
Before starting, make sure your device is powered down and unplugged from any power sources. Remove any covers, cases, or accessories as well.
- A lint-free, soft microfiber cleaning cloth is ideal for cleaning your device. You may also use a camera lens cleaning cloth. These are gentle and will not damage your device.
- Gently wipe the front and back of your device with the microfiber cloth to remove smudges and fingerprints. Do not apply too much pressure.
- You should avoid getting excess moisture onto your device; however, you may dampen the corner of the microfiber cloth with a small amount of distilled water to tackle stubborn dirt or grime.
- You can also use a disinfectant, such as a hypochlorous acid-based solution (containing 50-80ppm) or an alcohol-based solution (containing more than 70% ethanol or isopropyl alcohol). Do not apply these liquid solutions directly to your device; they should be carefully applied to a microfiber cloth instead.
- Avoid using cans of compressed air, as they may damage the surface of your device.
- Do not use spray bleach on your device.
