There are ways through which a phone screen can be cleaned, each with its benefits. Microfiber cloth cleaning is easy and convenient for the daily removal of fingerprints and smudges. Alcohol swabs can remove grease really fast, but there has to be some attention toward the alcohol concentration and how the screen dries. Special screen cleaners provide better cleaning, but their proper use should be ensured not to leave any watermarks. This combination of clean water and microfiber cloth is inexpensive, but the purity of water needs to be ensured. Static dust removal stickers are one convenient and efficient dust removal method, suitable for removing fine particles in particular.

1.Clean with a microfiber cloth
- First, have a clean and soft microfiber cloth that is really going to help mop up fingerprints and dirt without scratching the screen. Then, turn your phone off or put it on airplane mode to avoid accidental touches on the screen for safety.
- Clean off the phone screen with the microfiber cloth. Keep in mind to apply it the same—either left to right or top to bottom. This way, you will be able to avoid scratches which come from the backward and forward wiping of your screen. As for the stubborn stain on the screen, you can increase the force of wiping but still keep gentle motion so as to prevent unnecessary pressure on the screen.
- Finally, check if the screen is perfectly clean. In case there are still marks left, then you can finally gently wipe it using the microfiber cloth until it restores your screen to its pristine cleanliness. After all, the cleaning process is easy and fast, effectively prolonging a phone screen’s life.
2.Clean with alcohol pad
- First, prepare some 70%-75% alcohol disinfectant cotton pads. The alcohol will be bacterially efficient while being able to quickly dissolve the grease and stains on the screen. Be sure that the cotton pads are made of non-woven fabric so that there will not be paper scraps or fibers left behind from the wiping.
- Switch off your phone or put it in aeroplane mode. After that, gently slide the alcohol cotton pad across the phone screen to wipe. Be cautious not to scrub hard, which will scratch the screen. The strong dissolving power makes alcohol promptly and easily remove fingerprints and oily dirt piled up from daily use.
- Let the phone screen dry naturally after you wipe it. Do not try to speed up the drying by using heat from instruments such as hair dryers because of the possible damage high temperatures may cause. Then wait a few minutes until it is entirely dry and turn your phone back on, or turn the switch back off Airplane Mode to get it to work again.
3.Use a dedicated screen cleaner
- First of all, purchase a specialized phone screen cleaner from a legitimate online store. Have handy a clean, soft microfiber cloth that really absorbs dust and moisture well, avoiding scratching the display.
- Next, spray a little of the specialized cleaner evenly onto the microfiber cloth. Wipe the phone screen with the cloth; make sure to be light-handed and have a gentle stroke from one corner to another, going slowly so as not to miss any corner. Do not leave watermarks or cleaner residue.
- After the whole wiping process is done, it will give the impression that the phone’s screen is renewed, becoming brighter and clearer. This specialized screen cleaner will effectively clean off dirt and fingerprints from the screen and protect it against damage, thus increasing its lifespan.
4.Homemade environmentally friendly cleaner to clean mobile phone screen
- First, mix some distilled water and white vinegar. If there are more ingrained stains, alcohol may also be used, but do this cautiously since alcohol can also somehow damage the protective coating of the screen. Pour equal amounts of distilled water and white vinegar, or alcohol if one wants to do so, into a clean small container and gently stir to mix them evenly.
- Next, take a clean, soft, and lint-free microfiber cloth. Dip the cloth into a homemade cleaner and wring it lightly so that the cloth is just damp, not dripping or dry. This will allow effective cleaning without excess moisture seeping into the phone.
- Switch off the screen of your phone and commence cleaning the surface with the cloth that has been dampened—no more, no less. Settle fingerprints, dust, dirt, etc. Be a little more cautious during wiping not to touch the edges and the crevices of the screen so that the cleaner won’t get in.
- Finally, take another dry microfiber cloth and gently repeat a wipe on the screen to keep it absolutely dry with no residue left behind. This will return clarity to the phone’s screen.
5.Use electrostatic dust removal stickers
- Buy Static Dust Removal Stickers: To that end, buy stickers for phone screens at shops or online dealing with electronic accessories.
- Remove Protective Layer: Gently peel off the protective layer of the dust removal sticker, exposing the adhesive side.
- Apply to Screen: Place the dust removal sticker on the screen. Avoid the formation of bubbles and let it stick on, raising dust and particles on the surface.
- Peel-Off Sticker: Slowly peel off the dust removal sticker from the screen, taking with it the dust and dirt that has been caught.
