Radiant cars and screens
A shiny car just out of the car wash at BOB Car Wash comes out: that feels like a fresh start. For many people, washing their car is a regular part of good maintenance. But did you know that your phone deserves at least as much attention? In fact, research shows that a smartphone sometimes contains as many bacteria as a public toilet. At ThePhoneLab, we know better than anyone how important proper maintenance is for the life and appearance of your phone.
We discuss:
- The impact of dirt and daily use
- Proper maintenance extends the lifespan
- Prevention is better than cure
The impact of dirt and daily use
Both cars and phones get a lot of abuse on a daily basis. Your car is exposed to rain, brine, bird droppings and UV rays. This can make the paint dull, cause scratches or even lead to rust. Fortunately, you can prevent this by regularly visiting BOB Autowas and properly protecting the paintwork.
Your phone also suffers from everyday influences. Fingerprints, dust and tiny scratches on the screen may seem harmless, but can eventually lead to an unresponsive touchscreen or charging problems due to dirt in the port. That’s why ThePhoneLab offers helpful maintenance tips and quick check-ups to get ahead of problems.
Proper maintenance extends the lifespan
With a few simple actions, you can significantly extend the life of both your car and your phone. Here are some practical tips:
Car maintenance (tip from BOB Car Wash):
-
Wash your car regularly, even in the summer, to remove dirt, insects and tree resin.
-
Also keep the interior clean to prevent wear and tear.
-
Put your car in the shade or use a sunshade against UV damage.
Phone Maintenance (tip from ThePhoneLab):
-
Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth – without harsh detergents.
-
Carefully clean the charging port with a brush to avoid dust accumulation.
-
Have regular check-ups at ThePhoneLab to notice minor problems in time.
Prevention is better than cure
With cars, preventive maintenance is the norm: we get them inspected, replace parts on time and protect the paint. Why shouldn’t we treat our smartphone, which we may use even more intensively, the same way?
Both BOB Autowas and ThePhoneLab believe in the power of proper maintenance. With a little care, your phone or car will stay beautiful longer, function better and provide more enjoyment, durability and ease of use in the long run.
