Smartphone: How to clean the camera properly

• A microfiber cloth is best for cleaning the camera. You can't go wrong with a clean, wet rag either.
• You can achieve the best result with glass cleaner and a cotton swab. However, spray the glass cleaner on the cotton swab beforehand and not directly on the smartphone.
• If you don't have all of this at hand, you can use other materials. These should just not fluff. If you want to be precise, you shouldn't use a handkerchief. Small wood particles could scratch the glass minimally.

Clean the inside of the smartphone camera

• With some smartphones, the daily dust and dirt from your pocket also collects inside the device. If you can simply open the device, you should also clean the inside of the camera
• Once you have removed the back of the smartphone, clean the back of the glass. You can also clean the glass of the lens. Be especially careful here.
