Are there chemicals that could damage the camera/screen/USB port, what are the things one should I avoid when cleaning?
minus-squarethenoirwolfess@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoDepends, my phone is IP69K so I washed it with hand soap, warm water and a towel dry lol
minus-square「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoLol don’t depend on it. I had a Samsung Galaxy S23 that got water damage after I did this at least once everyday for months, not covered by warranty. I did that because I was germophobic af triggered by covid, now i just use those wet wipes to wipe off the germs.
