We often feel proud with all the man made advanced technologies all around but the truth is the same technology now controls us in such a way that we hardly can imagine our life to be normal without them .
Similar is the case with Mobile phones . A mobile phone is taken to almost every where depending on the need , requirement or even addiction. People now take their phones even in washrooms. The same phone is passed on from one person to another and comes in contact with ears, mouths and hands and are again passed back. Almost majority people carry their phones to infectious places with phones and yet the phones are kept the same way without disinfecting them.
You might be surprised that every inch of your smart phone contains germs (as per reports roughly 25,000 germs ) which makes it one of the most unhygienic and filthiest things one comes in contact with on a daily basis. Studies have revealed that mobile phones are more dirtier than toilet seats since mobile phones have more pathogenic bacteria like coliforms than the toilet seats since toilet seats are atleast disinfected time to time but a mobile phone is not cleaned . It is also said that phones can transmit common illness like flu, diarrhea and eye infections. Although is is not visible with bare-eyes but phones are actually carriers of multiple germs , bacteria and viruses .
Moreover mobile phones can be a reason of some skin issues as well. Because everytime we talk on our phone and also everytime a phone is passed from one to another , the germs in it move onto your face and can trigger skin inflammation,skin allergies . So its better to clean the phone regularly and make sure to clean the screen after receiving the phone back from another user.
Apart from this gazing at your phone screen continuously can invite wrinkles around the eyes and between the brows. According to experts one should hold their phone at the eye-level.
Moreover in addition, you can also control the phone’s blue light by lowering the brightness of your phone and switching to dark/night mode as well .
Although we keep ourselves and our home clean every moment but many of us forget to clean their mobile phone . It is important to clean our devices mostly our mobile phones from time to time. You can use a dry microfibre cloth with a slight amount of disinfectant . If you are using a liquid than be careful to spray it onto the cloth first and not the screen . As per a German study, a dry cloth can help to remove 80% of germs while a special glass-cleaning cloth impregnated with alcohol will remove up to 95%.
