Our new reality dictates that we wash and disinfect our hands regularly. But what about your phone, wallet, keys, headphones, and all the small items that inhabit your pockets? 

According to research from the University of Arizona, our phones, e.g., are ten times dirtier than a toilet seat!


In the COVID-19 world, disinfection of your phone and other personal items is as necessary as washing and disinfecting your hands. Make sure you give them a thorough cleaning when you enter your home. You can either use wipes or a spray containing at least 70% of alcohol. Hand sanitiser on a tissue also does the job.

Please don’t be shy and give a quick wipe to your doorknob and your light switches because they are the most commonly touched surfaces when entering one’s house. 

Remember, always prioritize your well-being and disinfect, disinfect, disinfect!
