Is it safe to use clorox antibacterial wipes to wipe your cell phone?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but: Please check with the manufacturer of your phone to see if the bleach will harm any coatings, screens, etc. The manufacturers usually tell you what you can clean the phone with safely.

Careful: Turn off phone & remove from case. You can use ready-made wipes that are safe for phones or make up a solution of ½ cup distilled water & ½ cup isopropyl alcohol in spray bottle. Gently mist a non-abrasive cloth & wipe down front & back of phone. Let sit for 15”. REF: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/sanitize-your-mobile-phone-with-these-helpful-tips/
