Clean your Pixel phone

Wiping your Pixel phone clean can help protect it from stains and wear. You can also disinfect your Pixel phone with household disinfecting wipes.

For your Pixel phone's materials and design details, see the tech specs.

Important:

• Avoid getting moisture or soap in openings, like the USB-C port. Don’t use bleach.
• For Pixel Fold: When cleaning your device, never pick at the edges or attempt to remove the protective film as doing so can harm the foldable display.

1. Turn off and unplug your phone.
2. With a soft, lint-free cloth, gently wipe off your phone. For most:
   • Streaks, smudges, or dust, use a dry cloth.
   • Color transfers, like from makeup or a new pair of jeans, use a damp cloth.
   • Other stains or grime: 
     • Screen: Use screen wipes or eyeglasses cleaner. 
     • Back and sides: Use ordinary household soap or bleach-free cleaning wipes. 

To disinfect your phone, including your screen, you can use ordinary household disinfecting wipes or 70% isopropyl alcohol-based wipes. Don’t use wipes that have bleach.

• Avoid dropping your phone.
• Avoid moisture or soap in openings.
• Avoid harsh cleaners and rough scrubbing. When disinfecting the screen, avoid excessive wiping.
• Avoid spraying cleaners or compressed air at your phone.
