"In this digital age our cell phones are with us twenty four hours a day. And with that, just like us, they get dirty. Hi, I'm Rokosz, your digital life style expert, and I'm going to show you how to clean your i phone. Well, the phone is basically made up of tempered glass, aluminum, or the new ones are all plastic, or the bottom part of the older style's plastic also. Let me show you some basic tips on how to clean 'em. First, the tempered glass in the front. This, between being put up to your face, and you're touching, touching, touching oils and grease all the time. The best way to keep it up, is with a lint free rag. So, all you're doing there, is just making small circles, as you move it around, and you'll notice, now, it's not lint free. What you'll tend to do, is, just move the grease around, so, you'll know right away that if it's going to work or not. You know, if you just see it getting streakier, and not going away. Taking care of the front of the i phone, is a lot like taking care of your glasses or your sunglasses. If it's unusually filthy, you can dampen it just a little bit. And sometimes you may want to use, just a tiny, tiny bit of a disinfectant, because, seriously, it's by your face, by your mouth, it's in your pockets. You touch it when you, you know, when you haven't washed your hands, when you're weeding. I mean, studies have shown that a cell phone can be one of the filthiest germ infested things that you touch, worse than toilet seats. So, you do want to keep it clean. The front part, the tempered glass is easy there. And, again, just the, the, the damp is not even the right word for how little tiny bit of fluid you want to use, in the same kind of rubbing motion on the back. Just a little bit, mind the camera eye there too. Never want to do anything to scratch it. And, just keep it there. Now, where you put in your head phones in the top there. Most of it is sealed around the back and around the side. So, a lot of junk doesn't get in there, but again, there's a big hole in the top, where, or a tiny hole if you will, where you put in your headphones. A little bit of compressed air, just at, to get some of the funk out, because if it just starts to accumulate, you'll have bad connections. So remember, just the tiniest amount or lens paper, or just a clean, dry, glass rag. A little bit of maintenance on a daily basis, and it will keep your i phone looking as good as new. I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert, saying, stream you later."
