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?

I would not use a HomeSoap system to clean the phone screen as it could damage it. I would stick to the Apple recommended procedures which state:


Clean your iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that might cause stains or other damage – for example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, or lotions. Follow these guidelines for cleaning:


Unplug all cables and turn off your iPhone.

Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth – for example, a lens cloth.

Your iPhone has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic – oil repellent – coating. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will diminish the coating and may scratch your iPhone.
