How to clean a land line telephone??????????

SLS Construction & Building Solutions LLC on Apr 17, 2013Unlug the phone line & with a barely damp washcloth (rubbing alcohol is fine) simply wipe / scrub it down (including the keys). You don't want any moisture sneaking past into the phone & you do not want to use any type of scrubbies as any scratches just makes it worse later Canned air works pretty good for loose particles / dust Plug the phone back in & you should be good to go Going off the deep end ; ) Leave a pack of disposable gloves by the phone & you won't have any more "grubby" issuesHelpful Reply

Jeanette S on Apr 18, 2013Clean it as best you can with alcohol. Then spray good with canned air. But I have found that round toothpicks are great to use to go around small places to get out grime...such as around the edging on the stove or around the sink caulking or fixtures...you know...that little ring of dirt that always manages to appear. Just a dry toothpick will work. Just keep wiping it off with a paper towel. You can probably reach down into those button openings enough to clean around them. Don't use force and break off a toothpick inside the opening. It takes patience. Take the tape off and write your numbers in a small notepad near the phone. You can get the goo off and it will look better.Helpful Reply

Bernice H on Apr 20, 2013The grime under the keys has been there a long time. I do clean it off, regularly, except where the keys are etc, @SLS Construction Solutions thanks...that s what I am afraid of. Loose stuff is not the problem.I would love to make it not yellow aging too! haHelpful Reply
