It Can't Be Unseen! HTC One Stains

[michael.baluyot]

I have been liking every single bit about this phone ever since it landed on my doorstep. Flawless on everything it does. Beautiful phone, something that is preventing me from slapping on a Ballistic or an Otterbox. There is one problem, however, the material that borders the sides of the phone seems to absorb dirt relentlessly! I didn't even see it before and now I can't seem to look at this beauty without seeing the dirty sides. Is there anyway to clean it?

I've noticed this too. I have iKlear that I used on it along with a Micro-Fiber towel and it worked great. Give that a try.

Do you guys keep handfuls of dirt in your pockets or something? I'm an aircraft mechanic and use my phone naked and it's spotless still.

The white stuff seems fairly porous. I put mine directly into an Otterbox, where it will stay until my Spigen gets here.

Photos please. Really interested to see how easily it stains. Guess I'm using a case

Use Mr Clean Magic Eraser. Get it at the grocery store. (Don't use water)

Confirmed?

Also, what about hairspray?

No, I haven't confirmed that, because mine is under an otterbox. But I use it on everything that can't be moistened. I use it for patent leather shoes. I use it for stains on tile. Trust me, it will work. PLEASE do not use hairspray unless you want to gunk up your phone. The only way Magic Eraser will NOT work if that white stuff has small pores with dirt that the eraser can't reach.

Photos or it didn't happen.

It may be hard to see, but its a bit darker on the edges. I'm a college student and once I brought the phone out to public (on campus,) all of my colleagues' grubby hands were on the device. This is what may have caused the immediate change in hygiene lol. All good advice so far though...

I have a pair of jeans that seems to like to rub dye off on stuff in the back pocket. Little bit rubbed off on the white plastic on mine, but it wiped right off.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser did the trick! Thank you for ALL the replies. This isn't a forum for cleaning supplies, but that eraser really is something magical...

It's great for taking crayon off of the wall too if you have a 3 yr old!

Mine came in with a smudge spot on the white plastic park. I just rubbed it off with a shirt. Took about a minute to get it all off but you have to rub it rough.

Glad it worked for you. Yes, it is magical..
