Disinfect from Germs N900
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello,

Lets say you wanted to keep your N900 as disinfected from germs as possible. Normally I would use a medical alcohol pad with my old phones (available at your local pharmacy, 300 for $3 or so).

But with the N900 I am concerned about the possible corrosive nature of alcohol pads, and the damage they could do to the seemingly fragile keyboard.

Does anyone have any ideas about this how to keep your phone reasonably germ-free, while not damaging the N900?

Thanks

As a microbiologist my advice would be to worry less about germs. That allows you to enjoy life, not just your N900, more.

lol I got 431 toilet seats... I guess I keep my immune system fit and busy, lol.
Our parents lived without antiseptic soaps and wipes, I don't see how germs will make my life harder.
