Personally always prefer the digital menu, at least the good ones with pictures of the food and that you can zoom in on. And you just know that very few places regularly clean their physical menus

Be honest, how often do you clean your screen?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Certainly more often than many menus I have seen. Modern water resistant devices make it easy to just use soap and water. And if it is gross, at least it's my fault and I can do something about it on my own time (I probably wouldn't take a restaurant manu to the bathroom to wash it before I look at it).

Soap and water? You wash your screen with soap and water? I know said device is waterproof but are they designed for soap?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah standard soap you would wash your hands with. Haven't had any problems for many years, and can't think of why I would 🤷. Smells nice too, definitely better than alcohol wipes

soap can and other cleaning products can actually damage the phone's water seals making it less waterproof, so its probably better not to do that

Guess I have been lucky then, but honestly I don't really think I'll stop... To add, even the glue for the skin I have on it hasn't been dissolved, so I think the seals are probably OK at least for now.

About as often as this dog gets cleaned.
