Would it be appropriate to clean my iPhone with a HomeSoap uv light cleaning system? Hello: I have read Apple suggestions for cleaning my phone and find it very helpful especially at this time. I have a HomeSoap uv light cleaning system and would like to ask if it would be appropriate to clean my iPhone with it and if by using it I would void any of my warranty for my phone?

Disinfecting iPhones Given covid19, disinfecting one's iPhone every now and then is not a bad idea. Obviously putting it in the dishwasher is a very bad idea but I wonder... I work in a medical facility and have access to a UV light disinfecting chamber. UV light kills viruses and bacteria. The question is, does anyone know whether UV light can harm an iPhone? Thanks!

Considering that there is no problem using your iPhone in direct sunlight, with its abundant UV component, using a UV disinfectant lamp should cause no damage. It likely won't get the phone as clean as using a damp cloth, but it won't do any harm.
