Your phone is dirtier than you think and here s what you can do about it

Wherever you want you have entertainment from your phone. You can even take your phone out of your pocket on the toilet.

It is not surprising that your phone collects a lot of bacteria over time. The more bacteria there are on your phone, the more bacteria you touch. Different studies show different results. A recent study shows that an average phone contains more than 17,000 types of bacteria. That is ten times more than on most toilet seats. Fortunately, most bacteria are harmless and will not make you sick. Yet there are also bacteria that can be pathogenic.

How do you keep your phone clean?
Firstly, it can help to stop using your phone in the toilet. In addition, clean your phone daily. And occasionally clean it a little more thoroughly, with a mixture of alcohol and water. And the most important advice has nothing to do with your phone, but more with yourself:wash your hands regularly.
