Your phone case is more than just protection; it’s the ultimate fashion accessory that you carry in your hand every single day. To keep your favourite xoxo Wildhearts case looking beautiful and fresh for as long as possible, proper care is essential. Because let’s be honest: your case deserves just as much love as your outfit! 😉 Whether you have a silicone case or a clear case, these tips will ensure it always looks stunning.
Step-by-step: The basic clean
Changing or cleaning a case is easy peasy. Follow these steps for a quick refresh:
-
Remove the case from your phone.
-
Rinse with warm water to remove any loose dirt.
-
Use a mild soap, such as hand soap or a drop of washing-up liquid.
-
Gently rub with a soft cloth or a soft toothbrush for those tricky corners.
-
Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel.
-
Leave to air dry completely before snapping it back onto your phone.
Important: Keep it safe! ⚠️
Some things are an absolute no-go for your case. Always keep your case away from nail varnish, perfume, or products containing alcohol. These can cause irreparable damage to the print or the material. Make-up, oil, dyes, and denim can also leave stains that are difficult to remove. Be especially careful with new, dark jeans, as the dye can transfer onto your (silicone) case. Finally, do not leave your case in direct sunlight or heat for hours. This can cause the material to discolour more quickly, which is exactly what we want to avoid!
Cleaning tips for your case 💖
Our coloured cases feel lovely and comfortable in your hand, but because the material has such a beautiful smooth finish, fingerprints can sometimes show up more easily.
- Simply clean them with a slightly damp, soft cloth.
- Use a microfibre cloth to bring back that perfect shine.
- Avoid using harsh cleaning products here as well, to keep the shine and colour looking their best.
Clear cases are a favourite because they show off your phone beautifully, but they need a little extra attention to stay crystal clear.
- Use a microfibre cloth when drying to prevent streaks.
- Clean the edges and corners extra thoroughly with a soft brush.
- Note: Yellowing caused by UV radiation or natural oils is often permanent over time. However, regular cleaning does help to slow down this process!
How often should you clean your phone case?
Your phone goes everywhere with you, so your case picks up more bacteria than you might think.
- Light clean: Once a week (just a quick wipe).
- Deep clean: Every 2 to 4 weeks.
- Extra check: Do this more often if you exercise a lot or travel frequently!
xoxo,
Wildhearts
