  • For cleaning your device, use a lint-free, soft microfiber cloth or a camera lens cleaning cloth. These options are gentle and safe for your device.

  • Gently wipe both the front and back of your device with the microfiber cloth, applying minimal pressure.

  • Avoid using excess moisture on your device. If necessary, lightly dampen a corner of the microfiber cloth with a small amount of distilled water.

  • You may also use a disinfectant, such as a hypochlorous acid-based solution (50-80 ppm) or an alcohol-based solution (over 70% ethanol or isopropyl alcohol). Apply these solutions to the microfiber cloth, not directly to your device.

  • Do not use compressed air, as it may damage your device’s surface.

  • Do not use spray bleach on your device.
