Why You Should Never Use Bleach On A Phone Case
Many people assume that bleach is a universal cleaner that can be used on any surface. However, this is not the case.
In fact, using bleach on certain surfaces, such as phone cases, can actually do more harm than good. Bleach is a powerful chemical that can cause irreparable damage to delicate materials. Phone cases are typically made from plastic or silicone, both of which can be easily damaged by bleach.
The harsh chemicals in bleach can cause the material to degrade, making it more susceptible to cracks and other kinds of damage. Bleaching a phone case can also strip away any protective coatings that have been applied to it, leaving it vulnerable to dirt and stains.
For these reasons, it is best to avoid using bleach on phone cases altogether. There are many other cleaning products that are specifically designed for use on delicate surfaces like phone cases, and these products will do a much better job of cleaning tougher stains on your case without damaging it.
