Have an iphone and whenever I use it outside or it gets dirty, I always use some 70% alcohol on it with a paper towel. Or I use those other wipes for it.


I heard about phone sanitizers like phonesoap. Do these work and are these better? Seems nice you just put your phone there a bit and it sanitizes it and that is all? Reviews seem really mixed. Some cheaper phone sanitizers are not as good? I check amazon site and there are several.

The issue is when using alcohol, I pour too much in a bounty.  I would pour it on a paper towel and wipe the front of it and side.  Then do it with another paper towel but get alcohol all over me.  So you should buy a pump where you take a bounty or napkin and only a small amount of alcohol get on the bounty or napkin and then wipe it?  What about those wipes were you open it up and use like those in a pack of 50 or 100?  Those have much less alcohol so those are betteR?

 

 

I ask about the phone sanitizer like phonesoap because it seems nice not having to put any liquid on the phone.  So that isn't good idea then?  Someone did mention it doesn't get rid of smudge and dirt?

If you tend to use excess alcohol,  you can use alcohol wipes instead.  Those are perfectly fine to use.
