Your phone is almost undoubtedly filthy. Right now. Even if it looks clean to the eye, it's likely in dire need of a thorough cleaning. At least, that's the case for nearly every actively-used smartphone in existence today. The way these devices are designed and used makes them uniquely susceptible to bacterial, oils, dust, general grime, and more. But that isn't say it's all hopeless, and that we should simply accept having a filthy device in our pockets at all times.
