Probably two or three times a week, minimum, here.

    Maybe once every 5 years when I get a new phone. My current one is about 4 years old. It doesn’t seem particularly dirty.

    Pretty much the same here, but ever since phones became waterproof, I started giving my phone (case and all) a washdown with dishwashing soap

    I clean the screen with a microfibre cloth every day. Take it out of the case and clean it maybe once a week, if I remember to do it.

      Yeah, mine comes out of the case maybe twice a month… Microfiber cloth and alcohol on the screen and back and sides of the case much more often.

    I take the case off and blow the dust off of on it, wipe the phone with my clothes every come off days, and that’s it, no wet wiping, disinfecting etc

    Maybe twice a month I’ll get that ADD tick to take my case off and deep clean the entire phone, charging port included. That part specifically reminds me of picking belly-button lint.

      There’s something strangely satisfying about scraping out a huge ball of fuzz and being able to charge your phone again!

    Honestly, once every 3-4 months I take the case out and give it a wipe with the help of isopropyl alcohol. I thought I was dirty, but I’m seeing that I’m one of the cleaner people.

    I’ll be significantly cleaner than average I expect… I don’t like cases, but a long time ago, circa when shiny black plastic was making its way in to touch screen phone design for the first time, a friend and I discovered if you keep your phone in a microfiber bag (like some sunglasses come with, particularly Oakleys we bought together at the time) it effectively cleans itself in your pocket. I still do, and I cycle those out and clean the bag once a year or so, or if it falls on the ground or gets something spilled on it. I have more now from different sets of sunglasses, laser goggles, etc.

    I also happen to work in a clean room where you’re expected to wipe anything you bring in, including phone, laptop, etc., with isopropanol-soaked wipes before entering so that’s like disinfecting and taking off the oil every day or every other day.

    No one else I know ever cleans their phone beyond wiping it with a shirt or something when the oil & smudges becomes too noticeable.

    I just put it in my PhoneSoap when I shower and wipe fingerprint oil off when it’s done. I’ll clean the charging port and between the case every 2-3 months or if I notice a buildup around the camera cutouts.

    I use a microfibre cloth and wipe down the screen/camera lens every 2 days ish.

    Maybe once a month I take off the case and give the full phone a wipe down

    I wipe mine down every day. I don’t use a case and I work in a hospital full of germs.
