Cleaning your Q

I was just wanting to know how you all clean your phones...I use a kleenex and get it moist...and the first time I cleaned it I used a wet towel and my keyboard was spitting out words I didn't type the next day. Just wanting to start a thread of cleaning tips cause I haven't seen one on anysite. Please post.

I use compresses air after an off-road race weekend since everything gets covered in dust, even the insides of my pockets.

Then I have a micro fiber cloth I bought with some sunglasses a few years ago that works great on grease marks from fingers & face.

I have those chlorox bleach wipes, but they just dont seem like a good idea.
I also have one of them sticky screen potectors on my phone....its just my keyboard and the buttons that get a little messy.

I was woundering why it was so gritty.....but after I rinsed it off under the faucet it sure is shiny and streak free! I didnt think to put it in the dishwasher...ill try that next time.

You can put some electronics in the dishwasher and they'll be OK. Keyboards, for example. Spill a coke on one? Set it in the top rack and wash it. It may shorten its lifespan but it's better than a useless gummed up keyboard.

Wouldn't recommend it with a Q. Too many small bits inside that water could get trapped in, and the soldering on some of the circuitry is bound to be fragile. Wouldn't trust alcohol either, since there are so many different materials inside the Q. Alcohol isn't always friendly with some types of plastic.

Even less friendly is acetone. Want to see your Q literally melt away? Try and clean it with some nail-polish remover. BTW in case there is some misunderstanding, you do NOT want to do that.

Just be sure to turn off the heated dry, and be sure your jet dry is full for a streak free screen.
