How to clean your Smart Battery Case
Lucky for us, the Smart Battery Case is mostly made out of silicone on the exterior, so keeping your case clean is pretty easy.
For most dirt, dust, and smudges, you shouldn't need anything more than a lint-free microfiber cloth.
- Remove your iPhone from the Smart Battery Case.
- Thoroughly wipe down the Smart Battery Case with a lint-free microfiber cloth.
If you have a particularly tough spot of dirt or grime, you can get the cloth lightly damp to help you out!
Essential for cleaning
Clean off your case with these soft cloths
A microfiber cloth like these from AmazonBasics is an absolute must. It won't cause any abrasions to your case and wipe off everything from grime to fingerprints.
AmazonBasics has become a reliable brand for decent products at low prices. Getting a six pack of microfiber cloths is a good idea, as you'll probably want at least two for each cleaning session (one for wiping down your phone with cleaner, one for wiping everything off when you're done)
