🎯 Why Case Maintenance Matters in 2025

Real talk: a dirty, degraded case is worse than no case at all. Here's why pros stay on top of their maintenance game:

• Maintains optimal drop protection integrity
• Prevents bacterial buildup (your phone touches your face 2,617 times daily)
• Preserves resale value of both case and device
• Keeps that fresh-out-the-box aesthetic

🧼 The BHP Deep Clean Protocol

Weekly Maintenance (5 minutes max):

1. Power Down: Remove case completely—never clean while attached
2. Dry Brush: Use soft-bristled toothbrush for ports and crevices
3. Alcohol Wipe: 70% isopropyl alcohol on microfiber cloth
4. Detail Work: Cotton swabs for speaker grilles and camera cutouts
5. Air Dry: 60 seconds minimum before reassembly

⚠️ Material-Specific Care Guide

Silicone Cases:

• Warm soapy water for deep cleaning
• Avoid petroleum-based products (they break down silicone)
• Check for micro-tears monthly—replace if compromised

Leather Cases:

• Leather conditioner every 3 months
• Never submerge in water
• Store away from direct sunlight when not in use

Clear/Transparent Cases:

• UV protection spray to prevent yellowing
• Baking soda paste for stubborn stains
• Replace every 12-18 months regardless of condition

💡 Advanced Maintenance Hacks

The Rotation Strategy:

Keep 2-3 cases in rotation. While one's drying after deep cleaning, you're protected with backup armor.

UV Sanitization:

UV-C sanitizing boxes eliminate 99.9% of bacteria without chemicals. Game-changer for germaphobes.

Seasonal Swaps:

Summer = breathable materials, Winter = grip-enhanced textures. Your case should adapt to your lifestyle.
