We brush our teeth, wash our hands and wipe down the kitchen, but most of us rarely clean the devices we touch all day. Tech hygiene doesn't need to be a big job. Two minutes a day, plus a slightly longer clean once a week, is enough to keep everything looking and feeling fresh.
What You'll Need
- A microfiber cloth (keep one at your desk and one in your bag)
- A screen-safe cleaner
Daily Minute 1: Your Phone
At the end of the day, give your phone a quick wipe with your microfiber cloth: screen first, then the back and edges of the case. If it's greasy, lightly mist the cloth with cleaner first.
Daily Minute 2: Your Most-Touched Items
Pick the other things you handle most and give each a quick wipe. For most people that means:
- Laptop keyboard and trackpad
- Earbuds and their charging case (dry cloth only around the speakers)
- Mouse
- TV remote or game controller
The Weekly Deeper Clean (10 Minutes)
Once a week, set aside a few extra minutes to:
- Take your phone out of its case and clean both.
- Clean your laptop screen and blow crumbs out of the keyboard.
- Dust your TV and monitor screens.
- Clean smartwatch bands and fitness trackers.
- Wash your microfiber cloths.
Tips to Make It Stick
- Attach it to something you already do, like plugging in your phone at night.
- Keep your cloth where you'll see it.
- Set a weekly reminder for the deeper clean.
- Clean more often in cold and flu season or after travel.
