To clean a clear tablet case, you can generally use soap, water, and a microfiber cloth for effective and safe cleaning.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Remove the Tablet: Before starting, always remove your tablet from the case to prevent any potential water damage to the device.
-
Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops (2-3) of mild dish soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage or discolor the case. Gently agitate the water to mix the soap.
-
Clean the Case:
- Dip a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth into the soapy water.
- Wring out any excess water from the cloth.
- Gently wipe down the entire surface of the tablet case, both inside and out. Pay close attention to areas with visible dirt or grime. For stubborn dirt, you can let the soapy water sit on the area for a minute before wiping.
- For hard-to-reach areas, such as corners and edges, use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) dipped in the soapy water to gently scrub away dirt.
-
Rinse the Case: Rinse the tablet case thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water to remove all traces of soap. Make sure no soap residue remains, as this can attract more dirt.
-
Dry the Case: Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to thoroughly dry the tablet case. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting your tablet. You can also let it air dry in a well-ventilated area.
-
Reassemble: Once the case is completely dry, you can carefully reinsert your tablet.
Important Considerations:
- Avoid Abrasives: Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can scratch and damage the clear plastic.
- Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause yellowing of clear cases. Avoid leaving the case in direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Alcohol: While isopropyl alcohol can be used to disinfect, it can also cloud or damage some types of clear plastic over time with repeated use. If you choose to use it, dilute it with water and use it sparingly.
By following these steps, you can keep your clear tablet case clean and looking its best.
