Dirty Phones: The Importance of Phone Hygiene and How to Keep Your Device Germ-Free

EXTERNAL PROBIOTIC TO PREVENT CELL PHONE CONTAMINATION

We all know how important hygiene is for our health, but have you ever considered the hygiene of your phone? A recent study has suggested that your phone could be 10 times dirtier than a toilet seat.

The study was conducted by scientists at the University of Arizona, who found that the average phone contains more bacteria than a toilet seat. The researchers swabbed the surfaces of mobile phones and found that they were contaminated with a variety of microorganisms.

So, why is your phone so dirty? Well, there are a few reasons. First, we use our phones all the time, touching them constantly throughout the day. We also take our phones with us everywhere we go, exposing them to a wide range of environments and surfaces. And, of course, we often forget to clean our phones regularly.

But the consequences of a dirty phone can be serious. The bacteria on your phone can cause illnesses such as colds, flu, and stomach bugs. In fact, a study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that one in six mobile phones are contaminated with fecal matter.

So, how can you keep your phone clean? Here are some tips:

  1. Wipe the phone with a probiotic instead of a disinfectant.
    Using a disinfectant wipe is more unhealthy than you may think. Using a probiotic to reduce pathogens and unwanted debris on your phone is the healthiest choice when cleaning a phone.

  2. Avoid using your phone in the bathroom
    It might be tempting to use your phone in the bathroom, but it’s not a good idea. Not only is it unhygienic, but the steam and humidity can damage your phone.
  3. Wash your hands regularly
    Washing your hands regularly is an important part of staying healthy, and it can also help keep your phone clean. Make sure to wash your hands before and after using your phone, especially if you’ve been in a public place.
  4. Keep your phone out of dirty environments
    Try to keep your phone out of dirty environments, such as on the floor or on a table in a restaurant. When you’re not using your phone, keep it in your pocket or purse.
  5. Use a phone case
    Using a phone case can help protect your phone from dirt and bacteria. Choose a case that is easy to clean, and make sure to clean it regularly.

In conclusion, the hygiene of your phone is just as important as the hygiene of your hands. By following these simple tips, you can help keep your phone clean and reduce your risk of getting sick. So, the next time you reach for your phone, remember to give it a quick clean with one of Protekt’s probiotic products first.
