CLEANING TECHNOLOGY
Cellphones and Tablets Make sure you are disinfecting your phone and tablet multiple times a day. Use a disinfecting wipe or alcohol solution (70% or higher). Take your phone out of the case and clean the case and phone separately. *Tip* If your phone is not charging as quickly as it once did, check the charging port. Clean it gently with a paperclip. Clogged charging ports can stop a phone from efficiently charging. Computers Avoid using disinfecting wipes on laptop screens, some screens are made of plastic and the wipes can seriously harm them. Use a wipe to clean the outside and the keyboard. For screens, use a soft towel and isopropyl alcohol. Accessories This is also the time to clean all your technology accessories.
