60% of you are disgusting: Go clean your phone right now.

Post by techietraveller84 »

Guilty as charged.

ZDNet, a tech website, writes about the filthiness of mobile phones, claiming that 60% of people have never cleaned their phones. I'm in the majority.

Included were some lovely pictures of bacteria and yeast cultures.

Motivated now to grab the disinfectant wipes and sterilize your phone?

Does using a restaurant serviette in PP to wipe the screen of smudges count as cleaning? :wink:

I'm a realist - you gotta work with what you got
I'll take a smooth even greasy smudge over an oily patchwork of my own fingerprints any chance i can.

I regularly clean it at the bar with a serviette just to degrease it.

A friend unlocked my phone once with my swipe pattern, (before finger print readers). I asked how he knew and he held the phone up to the light and twisted it around to reveal a greasy smear mark in a 'Z' pattern from top left to bottom right, as clear as day.

I've been cleaning the screen ever since.

Due to an inconvenient anatomy, sadly this leaves only scratching available.

you might want to burn your wallets after carrying Riel notes around in it....no amount of scrubbing can detoxify it.
