Cleaning silicon phone cases is essential because germs and dirt can build up there. You can use soap and water to clean silicate, but all strong detergents should be avoided. Using an antiseptic wiper is a quick yet effective way to remove bacteria from your case. Try to clean the case thoroughly about once a month and disinfect it at least once a week.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Monthly bumper cleaning

1. 

   Remove the case from the phone for cleaning. You must remove the silicon phone cover before cleaning. Gently stretch one corner of the case to start removing it from the phone. Continue lifting the corners of the silicon case until you can fully remove the device.
   • Avoid pulling the silicon shell so hard that it damages or tears it.

2. 

   
   
   Add 1-2 drops of dish soap to 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water. Warm soapy water is the most effective cleaning solution for your silicon phone case. Add dish soap to a cup of still warm water to make sure the soap is completely dissolved. Stir the mixture until it gently bubbles.

3. 

   Dip a clean toothbrush in the soapy water mixture and scrub the case thoroughly. Soak a clean toothbrush in the soap mixture for 1-2 minutes, then use the brush to clean the silicon case. Scrub the cover in a small circular motion.Focus on the stains or stains to get the phone case as clean as possible.
   • Dip the toothbrush in soapy water every few seconds to ensure hygiene.

4. 

   
   
   Sprinkle a pinch of baking soda over stubborn stains or stains. Baking soda can help remove tough particles from your phone case like oil, dirt, or debris. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda directly over the dirty area. Continue to scrub the cover with a toothbrush.

5. 

   Rinse the case in water. When you've finished scrubbing, rinse the phone soap mixture off in the sink. Use warm water instead of hot or cold water. Scrub the case gently as you wash it to make sure there is no soap on it.

6. 

   
   
   Let the case dry completely before you insert the phone. Putting your phone back on when the case is still damp can damage your phone and allow bacteria to build up inside the case. Blot the case with a paper towel to remove as much water as possible. Then, let it sit for about an hour to make sure the case is dry and usable.
   • If you don't have time, try drying the case with a hairdryer for a few seconds on lowest heat.

7. 

   Clean the case once a month to eliminate bacteria and stains. Using your mobile phone every day means that the oil and bacteria transition between you and the device will occur frequently. Keep germs and dirt to a minimum by cleaning your phone case at least once a month, both inside and outside. To remember to do this, set a monthly reminder or take notes on your calendar or business diary. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Disinfect coverings weekly

1. 

   Take your phone out of its case to ensure that any bacteria are removed. Only disinfecting the outside of the case is ineffective because bacteria can exist between the phone and the case. Always remove your phone to thoroughly clean the case. Be sure to focus on eliminating all bacteria on both the inside and outside of the silicon sheath for best results.

2. 

   Wipe the case with an antiseptic wipe at least once a week. Use an antiseptic wipe over the inner and outer surfaces of the case. Let the case sit for a few minutes to dry. Once the case is dry, put the phone back in.
   • This is also an effective way to quickly disinfect a phone case if it comes into contact with bacteria.

3. 

   Rub the case with isopropyl alcohol to kill bacteria if you don't have a towel. Soak the alcohol in a cotton swab or cotton ball. Apply alcohol soaked cotton to both the inside and outside of the phone case. This will kill the bacteria lurking on the case.
   • The alcohol will evaporate within a few seconds of applying.

4. 

   Put your phone in the case when the case is dry. Make sure the case is no longer wet, as this may damage your phone. Wait a few more minutes to make sure the case is completely dry before replacing it in the phone.

5. 

   Avoid using harsh detergents on the case. Strong, concentrated detergents can damage silicate items. Avoid using any harsh cleaning chemicals for the phone case. These may include:
   • Household detergent
   • Windshield washer fluid
   • Detergents contain ammonia
   • Detergents contain hydrogen peroxide
   • Aerosol sprays
   • Types of solvents
