Got a new phone? These 4 essential cleaning supplies will keep it looking that way

Wiping down a phone with a microfibre cloth.

That new phone you may have received as a holiday gift certainly looked its best the moment you took it out of its box for the first time. And the good news is, it doesn’t take much to keep your phone looking that way if you’ve got the right cleaning materials on hand.

After all, it doesn’t take long before a new phone can start to show some wear and tear, just from everyday use. Think about how many times you touch your phone every single day — as a result from that kind of contact, your handset can harbor a significant amount of bacteria. What’s more, the build-up of oil from your hands combined with exposure to other elements can wear down your phone’s finish over time.
