Wipe small stains off with a cloth. During daily use, you won’t want to do a deep cleaning every time your case accumulates dirt or dust. In these cases, use a soft cloth. Get the cloth damp with warm water then use it to wipe off the surface debris.[1]
Don’t clean with rough pads or brushes. These scrape the cases.

Rinse off dirty water. Immediately after exposing the case to non-fresh water, including soap, chlorine-treated pool water, or seawater, return the case to a faucet. Use cool or lukewarm water to rinse the entire case so the non-fresh water does not abrade it. Rinsing this way protects the case when you don’t have time to clean with soap.
Unless you plan on cleaning out the inside of the case and are sure the seal is secure, you do not need to remove your phone.

Wash with soap. First, ensure all the ports are closed. Apply a mild dish soap and rinse it off under warm water in a sink. Perform this deeper cleaning whenever you see deeper stains that don’t come off with rinsing or at least every three months when you are supposed to perform a water seal test.[2]
Never clean with bleach or abrasive cleaners or polishes.

Dry the case. Shake off excess moisture. For speedier drying, gently wipe the case with a soft cloth. Otherwise, leave the case out on a paper towel away from direct sunlight. Only use a microfiber cloth on the screen so the screen doesn’t get scratched.
