Importance of "Spring Cleaning" Takes on New Meaning in Era of Mobile Technology

It’s been a long cold winter for most of the country and nowhere is the impact of this winter more evident than on the screens of our smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. The chances are pretty good that, after a winter of sneezing, touching, and sharing them with all of our friends and family, these screens are pretty well covered with all sorts of grossness. But fear not. You can give all of your mobile devices a real “spring cleaning” thanks to WHOOSH! Inc.’s (www.whooshinc.com) WHOOSH! Screen Shine, the safe way to clean, polish, and protect all your mobile devices.

Research shows that more than 80-percent of touch screens are contaminated with bacteria, germs, and even feces — yes, feces! It’s important to take the necessary action to keep your screens clean by implementing tech hygiene into your daily routine by using a natural cleaning solution like WHOOSH! Screen Shine.

Many people don’t realize the benefits of using a specialized screen cleaner like WHOOSH! Screen Shine on their mobile devices, and turn instead to household cleaners for a quick fix. However, using cleaning solvents or other harsh chemicals on any mobile device can actually disintegrate or wipe away the special coating on a device’s screen, severely damaging its functionality in the process. What’s more, turning to a basic paper towel or other paper-based product to remove dirt and oil can leave permanent scratches on the screen, leaving the device in worse shape than it was before.

Fortunately, WHOOSH! Screen Shine is the next generation screen cleaner that is made with non-toxic and biodegradable surfactants instead of with harsh chemicals that can damage mobile devices. Leveraging the latest advancements in formula development, WHOOSH! is specifically developed to be a safe yet powerful cleaning solution that cleans both screens and devices — making them shine like new while leaving an ultra-thin invisible coating that provides a resistance to dirt build-up, smudges, and fingerprints. WHOOSH! does not contain alcohol, acids, ammonia, chlorine, petroleum distillates, phosphates or volatile organic compounds. Additionally, each package of WHOOSH! comes with a special cloth that has been treated with antimicrobial product to protect the fabric and mobile device screens against scuffs and scratches while cleaning.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is available for purchase at all North American Apple stores and at more than 2,500 Walmart stores, as well as in Staples Canada, Canadian Tire, ROAM Mobility, and Shoppers Drug Mart stores. WHOOSH! can also be purchased at www.whooshscreenshine.com.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is available in a number of sizes: Duo+ (one 3.4 fluid ounces and one .3 fluid ounces) is for a suggested retail price of $19.99, Pocket (.3 fluid ounces) for $5.99 and Go (1 fluid ounce) for $9.99. All sizes come with a 6”x6” W! micro-fiber cloth. WHOOSH is also available for the commercial, industrial, and education markets.  WHOOSH! Screen Shine made its debut at CES 2014 where it became the only screen and device cleaner to be awarded two coveted CES Innovations Design & Engineering Awards.
