Keeping germs away from the objects we usually use is an increasingly common need due to the Covid-19 pandemic and Apple was not caught unprepared. Given that iPhones can run into various malfunctions if cleaned with the wrong detergents, the Cupertino company has decided to help users understand how to sanitize their iPhone properly. In particular, to cope with the Covid emergency, Apple has advised against cleaning your iPhone using bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
iPhone and Covid: Apple does not recommend cleaning with hydrogen peroxide and bleach
Apple must have received a very high number of reports of iPhone damaged or malfunctioning, given that he has decided to update the pages of the official website regarding the section "how to clean apple products". Browsing this part of the blog we can read that the company does not recommend the use of bleach and hydrogen peroxide, as well as all those products that contain these chemicals.
This simple recommendation applies to all of the company's devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, but also leather accessories such as cases MagSafe. Here is the exact passage of the official site:
"You can use a wipe soaked in 70% isopropyl alcohol, a wipe soaked in 75% ethyl alcohol, or Clorox branded disinfectant wipes to gently clean the hard, non-porous surfaces of Apple products, such as displays, keyboards or other external surfaces. . Do not use products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Prevent moisture from entering openings and do not immerse the Apple product in cleaning products. Avoid using it on fabric or leather surfaces ".
It is plausible to imagine that these specifications come in response to a boom in reports, given that, being the iPhone waterproof, several users have seen fit to have the device take a bath in bleach or hydrogen peroxide to eliminate any pathogens. This is undoubtedly an intelligent initiative, which will certainly discourage improper practices in terms of cleaning devices that could void the product warranty.
