    Okay, but would rubbing a wet piece of cloth over your screen really be enough? Lots of germs end up on our phones, shouldn't we be using some kind of disinfectant to kill those? I know the video mentioned a UV lamp, but that's not something most people happen to have and seems like kind of a hassle to get just to clean a phone screen.

    • @DonnaBrooks
      @DonnaBrooks Год назад

      People, esp. in the U.S., are obsessed with germs. People had phones for a hundred years before smartphones came along & the handsets were rarely cleaned, much less "disinfected". Your immune system would be stronger if you didn't sanitize everything. Plus, because of all our antibiotics & disinfectants, superbugs are evolving. Basically, we are killing the weakest of the germs but the more powerful ones survive our sanitizers & disinfectants & reproduce. If you are concerned about germs on your phone, wash your hands more frequently. BTW, door handles & railings are crawling with germs, esp. in public places, because people are touching them all the time & we never think to clean them. They have a lot more germs than your phone.
