How to Keep Your Phone Germ Free With Tech 21!

I wont lie, during the fall and winter months I am a little obsessive with the hand washing. We change Ayla’s cloths the second she gets home from school to minimize germs and I am always dousing my girls hands with antibacterial hand gel. Getting a cold or the flu can truly take our family off the map for a good 2-3 weeks by the time we have all caught it. It wasn’t until the other day, when in the blink of an eye Cosette reached for my phone on the coffee table and started chewing on it, that I realized I had been neglecting one of the biggest germ magnets in my home. Most of us have heard that our phones are as dirty as a toilet but we just seem to forget about it as we go about our daily lives. I realized as I stood there wiping baby drool off my phone that I could wash my hands a million times a day but every time I pick up my phone it’s like those germs never left.
I was so excited when Tech 21 reached out to partner on this post because I think every on-the-go mom I know should invest in one of there iPhone cases. Why? Because they reduce microbes (germs) on your phone by 99.99%! When I am running around after my kids all day I am setting my phone down everywhere. It comes in the bathroom with me, it sits on the park bench, it floats around at the bottom of my diaper bag and it gets picked up by tiny germ covered hands looking to play their favorite kids app. When your on the go it’s hard enough to remember to wash everyone’s hands all day. No busy mom has time to think about obsessively cleaning their phone. Having a case that not only protects your phone with 8+ feet of drop protection but also keeps it hygienically clean is pretty phenomenal if you ask me.
Before getting my Tech 21 case I wanted to see just how dirty my phone actually was. I used a dip stick to run a little science experiment and swabbed my phone to see what kind of microbes were on it. I left the stick for 5 days to see what grew. I had a feeling something might grow, but even though I have been told how dirty phones are, for some reason I thought mine wouldn’t be that bad. I mean, I am a pretty clean person and I also wipe my phone down with clorox wipes 2-3x a month when I think of it. I was SO grossed out when I saw what the dip stick looked like. I was so thankful that old cover was safely in the trash and my new Tech 21 cover was protecting my phone from all of the “fun” germs that were currently partying on that dip stick.
You can always feel free to order a kit and swab your own phone but if you’d just like to take my word for it and get a Tech 21 case, you can find their whole selection of antimicrobial cases HERE. If you use code KELLY10 you can get 10% off your order! They have some really cute cases to choose from and I have been really happy with the drop protection as well. Happy shopping and I hope you enjoy your newly germ free phone!
