Learn how to clean your Galaxy S25 FE case without damaging it. Step-by-step guide for removing stains, dust, and grime while preserving the case's finish.

Quick answer

Clean your Galaxy S25 FE case with mild soap and warm water, using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive tools to prevent damage.

Why gentle cleaning matters

Your Galaxy S25 FE case protects your phone, but aggressive cleaning can scratch or weaken it. Even tough cases like the Pelican Protector with Magnet need proper care to maintain their shock-dispersing ridges and rigid outer shell. Harsh chemicals can strip coatings or cause discoloration, while rough scrubbing may damage the surface or compromise drop protection.

The Pelican Protector with Magnet is built with 16-foot drop protection, but its durability doesn't mean it's immune to cleaning mistakes. Using the wrong method can reduce its effectiveness over time.

Step-by-step cleaning guide

  1. Remove the case from your phone: Take off the Galaxy S25 FE case completely. This allows you to clean every part without trapping moisture against the device. A common mistake is cleaning the case while it's still on the phone, which can push dirt into the edges.
  2. Rinse with lukewarm water: Hold the case under lukewarm running water to remove loose dust and debris. Avoid hot water, which can warp some materials. Hot water may soften the case's structure, especially around the rigid outer shell.
  3. Apply mild soap and scrub gently: Use a drop of mild dish soap on a soft cloth or sponge. Gently scrub the entire case, paying attention to corners and ridges. For tough stains, let the soap sit for a minute before wiping. Do not use bleach, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners—they can damage the case's finish and reduce drop protection.
  4. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the case under lukewarm water again to remove all soap residue. Leftover soap can attract dirt or cause skin irritation. Soap residue can also make the case slippery, affecting grip.
  5. Air dry completely before reattaching: Pat the case dry with a clean towel, then let it air dry on a flat surface for several hours. Make sure all moisture is gone before putting it back on your phone. Putting a damp case on your phone can trap moisture, leading to potential damage to the device.
