{Disarmed} This is how I have finally managed to keep the dirt on the screen (and cameras) of my mobile at bay
No one likes to have a dirty mobile screen . When it comes to cleaning, the solution is more important than the choice.
So well, for years I have searched among the different solutions on the market and consulted experts that leads to this complete (and simple) guide to keep any dirt on the screen and cameras of a Xiaomi smartphone or tablet —and, by extension, of any mobile
The best products to clean the screen of your Xiaomi
It is possible that the world is divided into two types of people: those who remove any protective plastic as soon as a new gadget is released and those users who prefer to leave it until the end of days, when the corners are raised, holding out until the plastics become tinted windows.
If you are one of the latter, like me, you are one of those who use anti-fingerprint protection first.
Let me explain: in addition to tempered glass, the vast majority of smartphones have an anti-fingerprint solution. It is a series of waxes or treatments that determine the resistance against abrasion of our fingers — the pH of the skin tends to be slightly acidic —. And these types of solutions have a fairly short shelf life.
After a while you will notice how the smartphone screen gets dirty more easily and it is more difficult to clean . Fortunately, skin oil does not diminish the capacitive abilities or the touch intensity of the screen. Although it does affect the color contrast. If you want to keep the screen of your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO like the first day, follow these tips.
The cleaning product
There is no need to get complicated by buying expensive products that promise magical results, or Inspector Gadget's own cleaning kits. On the contrary, we have the best in any pharmacy: isopropyl alcohol.
To reduce its abrasive capacity we recommend a proportion of 75% distilled water and 25% medicinal alcohol . You can measure it with the classic saline syringe. With 3 ml of distilled water and 1 ml of alcohol we will have it ready for a while. In addition, as our colleagues at Xataka indicate , it never hurts to use "a few drops of dehumidifier like the one used in photography" to prevent drops from forming.

cloth or chamois
Microfiber cloths are ideal for avoiding the so-called triboelectric effect. This is a quirk of physics that reminds us that when we clean a surface we sweep charge from one polarity and, to balance the screen, it begins to attract all the dirt on itself in order to balance the polarity.
In short: we have cleaned a screen and it is already full of dust particles again. Microfiber cloths, however, prevent the blissful static.

And that's it, simple as that. Although excessive cleaning can result in a loss of protection , keeping the screen ready is key to good maintenance of the terminal. Once we have both products, we can proceed to cleaning, without losing sight of two key points:
- Do not apply the solution directly on the screen, but do it on the chamois or microfiber cloth.
- Never apply pressure when cleaning, but gently rub in circles to drag excess dirt to the upper edges.
On camera modules the process is identical. And if the smartphone has gotten wet from rain or splashes of water, we recommend first drying the water with absorbent paper —kitchen or simple napkins— before starting the cleaning.
Oleophobic gels and antistatic cloths
Are there more professional solutions? Undoubtedly. They are called oleophobic gels —anti "oil", from the Latin oleum, "oil"—.
Although we can emulate their results with a little neutral soap diluted in distilled water, these products can be a key solution for those who live in coastal areas where salt and sand can scratch and deteriorate the screen more often.
For this particular we recommend the Ecomoist family of products, whose alcohol-free solution not only prevents possible abrasions but also maintains a thin film on the screen that protects against scratches.
By following these steps you will be able to keep your mobile screen pristine, whether it is the new Redmi Note 11 or a coveted Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra .
We do not quote it for free: although its Gorilla Glass Victus panel boasts the highest rate of resistance against bumps and scratches of how many Corning has distributed, its second screen is much more delicate. In this way we can take care of both your second screen and the camera module itself.
