Wash Your Hands After Touching These Seemingly Harmless Things

Your Phone’s Screen

Technology has replaced a lot of paper products, like note pads and address books, which has been a blessing in terms of minimalism. But it also means that your touchscreen is getting smeared with all kinds of stuff. Oil from your face, dirt from your hands, and the germs from any surface you set it down upon.

Think about it: You put your phone on counters, desks, the top of the toilet paper dispenser in the public restroom, and then you go and call someone or snap a picture of your food before picking up the fork. See the problem?

Any device with a touchscreen, such as your phone or tablet, needs to be sanitized once in a while. You can wipe the screen down with some soap and water to keep it clean.
