How often do you clean your mobile phone?

One of my staff was let go today and she had to turn her work phone in, it's maybe 6 months old and was the most disgusting thing I've seen in a long while. This woman is a Nurse and her phone and it's case were covered in body oil, makeup and what I can only guess is food? I put on some latex gloves and removed the case and threw it out then wiped the phone down with alcohol wipes before turning it in to IT. I clean my screen at least once a day and take off the case and clean it too at least once a week with hot, soapy water and a brush. I do this with both my personal and work phones. How can people live with disgusting filth like this, specially a Nurse ffs??? 😖
Any time I neglect to check my jeans laundry day.
It remains squeaky clean.

Call reception and clarity isn't what it used to be though.
Everyone sounds like they're underwater.

@jshm2 She didn't know she was being let go until Friday and this was months of accumulation of dirt.

@Gangstress I wipe the screen every day before going to bed, not OCD, just want it clean for the next day.
I hardly use it but I clean my iPad once a week or so.

Why don't you ask her? And I don't keep mine in a case, so cleanliness is not an issue.

@RedBaron Unlikely to see her again and the question was mostly rhetorical. We hand out a case with the phone when they are assigned, phones are an expensive asset.

@spjennifer FWIW, I have found that a case doesn’t make a difference. My iPhone 13 stays clean and hasn’t been damaged even with occasional drops on the wood floor of my apartment.
