However, the level of fear has gone to such an extent that people are now cleaning their tech gadgets primarily mobile phones with sanitizers.  The use of sanitizer to clean mobile phones has hampered the use of the gadgets as the mobile phones are getting damaged. 

In a interview to Amar Ujala a mobile mechanic  from Delhi has claimed that that many people are sanitizing the mobile in such a way that the sanitizer is entering the headphone jack. Due to which there is a short circuit in the phone. Apart from this, the display and camera lenses have also been damaged extensively.  Meanwhile, mobile users can opt for non - alcohol medical wipes available in the market to clean their speaking gadgets. Through these wipes, you will be able to clean the corners and back panel of the phone properly. 

A word of caution must be exercised while cleaning mobile phones. Firstly turn off your mobile phone after which, immerse one piece of cotton into the sanitizer Now clean the screen of your phone with this in a straight line.
