We might be washing our hands a lot more at the moment, but most of us aren’t cleaning our phones anywhere near as much as we should.
And a TikTok account set up by Irish technology repair shop is dedicated to showing us how to deep-clean our iPhones.
The amount of grime, wax and dirt they uncover on our hand-held devises is, frankly, stomach churning.
In one video, the experts cleaned out a customer’s phone charger port, which they refer to as ‘the belly button of your iPhone’. Gross.
And they found more than the odd piece of fluff in there.
As the video zooms in, you can see that the port is full of dirt, dead skin and clothes fibres.
But cleaning it wasn’t too much of a problem. The expert simply used a thin metal scraper to gently pull the dirt out of the port, then used a hairdryer to blow the rest away. Easy.
Sadly, the Airpod cleaning video is even more disgusting.
A close-up shows there is a build-up of ear wax and hair around the edges of the headphones.
And cleaning them is a bit trickier. To start, they pour a drop of isopropyl alcohol onto the headphone to soften the wax, and then use a blunt toothpick to dislodge it.
They then use a small brush to remove the rest of the wax. And that’s it. The Airpods look brand new.
The close-up pictures of wax in the earbuds are really a lot, and it has made some viewers vow to never share their Airpods with somebody else.
‘I REFUSE to share earbuds for this reason,’ commented one person.
‘Lord have mercy, I’m about to cry,’ added someone else.
So, after you’ve stopped crying, maybe it’s time to try some of these cleaning tips on your own tech.
Do you have any cleaning tips to share? We want to hear from you.
