When asked what is the
dirtiest and most dirty thing around you, what is the answer?
Hopefully after reading
the explanation above, we all become more aware of various impurities on
smartphones. Those who are lazy to wash their hands become more diligent, who
never clean the smartphone also become aware.
Toilet?
Eits, who said! Most
likely, smartphone, which is probably currently in your grasp, is the dirtiest
and most bacterial item.
Do not believe?
Why are smartphones becoming a favorite nest for bacteria?
Well, after knowing how
dirty your smartphone is, of course now you want to immediately clean your smartphone,
right?
In a 2014 study, of 51
smartphones studied, experts found more than 7,000 types of bacteria.
Indeed, most are good
bacteria that come from our own hands and mouth, but of course also tucked away
bad bacteria that can carry disease.
Smartphones are often the
dirtiest personal objects for several reasons:
•
Many people carry smartphones to the toilet, especially
when defecating
•
Many people rarely wash their hands after getting out
of the toilet or after holding dirty objects, then immediately hold the
smartphone
•
Smartphone batteries make this object tend to be warm
so that bacteria prefer to perch
•
Many people rarely clean the smartphone properly (hey,
when was the last time you cleaned the smartphone with antibacterial and not
just wiped tissue?)
Any bacteria and viruses that are often on a smartphone?
If you feel frequent flu,
frequent stomach aches, or even often spotty for no apparent reason, it could
be the culprit is a smartphone full of bacteria.
Any bacteria that can be
found on a smartphone? Check below:
1. E. Coli, the bacteria that causes diarrhea
This is a type of
bacteria that usually lives in feces or dirt, and if ingested it can cause
diarrhea, vomiting, and indigestion.
2. Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that causes infection
If there is a wound on
your skin, this bacteria can make it become infected. Even some types of
bacteria that are stronger can also trigger respiratory infections that can be
dangerous.
3. The virus that causes flu
More flu season and don't
want to get infected from people who are sick? One important way is to clean
the smartphone properly and correctly.
Because the flu virus is
scattered everywhere and can easily be attached to a smartphone.
So, even though you have
shunned sick people and even wear all masks, if the smartphone is still dirty
and you hold it, yes it's just lying.
4. Clostridium difficile
This is also one of the
bacteria that often makes severe diarrhea, the point must be kept away!
5. Streptococcus
Frequent sore throat?
This bacterium is the cause, and is often found on many people's smartphones.
How to make the smartphone clean and free of bacteria
Well, after knowing how
dirty your smartphone is, of course now you want to immediately clean your smartphone,
right?
But don't just wipe it.
There are several ways to care for and keep your smartphone clean and free of
bacteria.
1. Don't lend your smartphone frequently to people
It doesn't mean that you
have to be stingy, but you don't know what the person is holding. Maybe he is new
from the toilet and hasn't washed his hands.
Or safe, after borrowing
your smartphone, wipe it off with wet tissue antibacterial.
2. Don't take the smartphone to the toilet
It feels dead style if
you don't have a smartphone on the toilet. But if you are lazy to diligently
clean your smartphone every day, you should not bring your smartphone into the
toilet.
Want to defecate and
don't want to sleep on the toilet? Try to bring your favorite book or comic to read.
3. Don't play smartphone while eating
After you know what
bacteria are often on your smartphone, of course you don't want the bacteria to
enter your mouth, right? Well, so it's best when you eat, don't hold your
smartphone first. Especially if you eat using your hands.
4. Diligently wash your hands
From kindergarten, we are
also often told to wash our hands, but it seems that until now there are still
many who are lazy.
Come on, don't be dirty,
guys. After from the toilet, before eating, and after holding a dirty object
(or doubtful cleanliness), immediately wash your hands before continuing to
move or hold the smartphone.
5. Regularly clean the smartphone
Actually cleaning your
smartphone once a week is also enough provided you clean it properly and not
just wipe it.
You can buy a smartphone
cleaning spray that is sold in stores, then wipe it with a microfiber cloth
(you can use a cloth if you have one).
For the smartphone body,
you can use an antiseptic wet tissue. Easy to get even in stalls, usually the
brand is for babies (because it is often used when changing diapers).
But be careful when
cleaning the screen, guys. Because many touch screen components can interfere
with certain liquids or objects that are not compatible, you should make sure
you only use smartphone-specific cleaners.
