friendsforneedsuk


You might think your devices are harmless, but here’s a shocking fact: your phone is 10 times dirtier than a toilet seat. Yes, you read that right. Phones, laptops, and gaming controllers are breeding grounds for harmful bacteria that could be putting your health at risk. At Palmtree Hygiene, we’re here to help protect you from these invisible dangers with our eco-friendly foam sanitiser – designed to keep your devices clean and safe.


The Hidden Dangers on Your Devices


  1. Phones – A Germ Infestation- Your phone is 10 times dirtier than a toilet seat. A 2017 study found that cell phones carry more bacteria than most toilet seats, including dangerous pathogens like E. coli, MRSA, and Streptococcus. People check their phones an average of 47 times a day, transferring bacteria each time. Many of these germs are harmless, but some can lead to illness, especially if shared or touched in unsanitary places like bathrooms. Read more here.


  2. Laptops – A Breeding Ground for Infections- Laptops might look clean, but they are a hotspot for germs. A study from Huffington Post revealed that laptop keyboards have 243 times more bacteria than a pet toy. Every time you type or eat near your laptop, germs are transferred to your keyboard. This constant exposure makes your laptop a major health risk. Read more here.


  3. Gaming Controllers – A Hidden Health Hazard- Gaming controllers are magnets for bacteria. A How-To Geek article points out that controllers are often not cleaned regularly, leading to bacteria buildup in hard-to-reach places like the analog sticks and buttons. This makes gaming controllers a hidden health hazard, especially when germs transfer from your hands to the device. Read more here.



How to Clean Your Tech with Palmtree Hygiene Foam Sanitiser

Now that you know how dirty your devices are, here’s how to clean them effectively with Palmtree Hygiene’s foam sanitiser:


  1. Spray a Small Amount of Foam: Lightly spray a small amount of our foam sanitiser onto a clean microfiber cloth or directly onto your tech device.

  2. Wipe Surfaces Gently: Gently wipe the surface of your phone, laptop keyboard, or gaming controller, ensuring all areas are covered. Avoid direct spraying on screens or delicate parts.

  3. Let it Dry: Allow the sanitiser to air dry for a few seconds. The foam quickly evaporates, leaving no residue behind and ensuring your device is germ-free.

  4. Wipe Excess Off (if needed): If there’s any excess foam, use a dry cloth to gently wipe it away.


Palmtree Hygiene’s sanitiser is quick and effective, killing 99.9% of germs without drying out your hands or damaging your tech.
