With the recent Corona recommendations, many Users are asking how to properly clean the Tablets and the bio-metrics.

To properly clean the screen on your smartphone or tablet, use a soft, lint-free cloth.

The use window of cleaners, harsh chemicals or cleaning solvents on your tablet is discouraged.

Also, NEVER spray anything directly onto the screen. Some screens, have a special coating that can get wiped away if you use chemicals to clean the screen. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that hand sanitizers containing at least 60 percent alcohol have been shown to be effective at eliminating germs.
