How to clean a transparent smartphone case: forget about yellow stains forever

Everyday use of transparent smartphone cases leads to yellowing. Although the discoloration is caused by exposure to sunlight, there are other reasons, such as contact with sebum or different surfaces.

Fortunately, there is no need to use harsh chemicals or change the coating too often. Natural products can help restore transparency. Informacion magazine has shared effective and eco-friendly methods for cleaning covers.

Life hack №1

Transparent covers are usually made of silicone or soft plastic. These materials are prone to yellowing. Baking soda is a powerful natural cleaner that can help remove yellowing. After mixing baking soda with water to form a thick paste, apply the mixture to the case and rub it in with a sponge or toothbrush.

White vinegar, known for its disinfectant properties, can quickly and efficiently dissolve dirt without damaging the material.

• First of all, mix vinegar and water in a container in a 1:1 ratio.
• Then put the case in the mixture and leave it for an hour.
• Rinse with clean water and let it dry completely. Please note that the case must be completely dry as excessive moisture accumulation can lead to breakage.

Citric acid will perfectly whiten the surface and help remove some stains. It also acts as a powerful disinfectant and allows you to quickly get rid of unpleasant odors.

• Squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl and soak the case for several hours, preferably in sunlight, to enhance the whitening effect.
• Then rinse with water and dry in the fresh air.

Toothpaste with a whitening effect will also help. You need to use a paste, not a gel. It is important to rub the surface thoroughly with circular motions and leave it for 5-10 minutes for the components to work. After that, rinse the case under running water and let it dry.

This rather unusual method works well for cleaning surface dirt and stains, leaving the coating smooth and clean.

• Mix olive oil and sugar until a liquid paste is formed.
• Apply to the case and gently scrub with a toothbrush.
• Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly.

Tips for caring for the transparent case

1. First of all, you should try to avoid exposure to UV rays. Do not leave your smartphone in places where it is not exposed to direct sunlight as this will help prevent oxidation and discoloration of the silicone surface.
2. Clean the case regularly to keep it free of dirt and sebum.
3. Moisture accumulation can cause damage, so dry the case thoroughly before putting it back on.
