Your phone is basically the third hand that never gets washed because it touches EVERYTHING. We’re here to give you some tips on how to keep that third hand clean from bacteria and germs.

1. Keep your hands clean.

Washing your hands regularly is the first step at keeping your phone germ free. Keeping a small hand sanitizer that contains alcohol near you at all times will ensure clean hands.

2. Sanitize using UVC light

UVC lights are known to be the most effective when it comes to killing germs and bacteria. PhoneSoap uses UV-C light technology to fry those nasty germs and, bonus, PhoneSoap will charge your phone while doing it!

3. Use a germ-free case

An antimicrobial case features an agent that can prevent the growth of odor and stain-causing bacteria, molds, and mildews from hitting your phone. PhoneSoap has created a GermGuard Phone Case for those that have the iPhone 6!

4. Be mindful where you put it.

And last but definitely not least, watch where you are taking your precious phone. Stay clear from taking it with you in the bathroom and setting it on sinks or near trash cans–all are breeding grounds for bacteria and disease.
