The Samsung Galaxy S25 has an IP68 rating, indicating it is resistant to dust and can withstand submersion in freshwater up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. However, certain cleaning products and substances can compromise its water resistance.
Cleaning Products to Avoid:
- Harsh Chemicals: Exposure to strong cleaning agents, such as soaps, detergents, and abrasive substances, can damage the seals that maintain the phone's water resistance[1][6].
- Sugary Drinks and Oils: These can also affect the integrity of the device's seals, leading to potential water ingress[1][3].
- Chlorinated Water: Swimming in chlorinated pools or exposure to saltwater can weaken the waterproof seals over time. It is advisable to rinse the phone with fresh water immediately after such exposure[4][5].
General Maintenance Tips:
- Regularly check for any physical damage, especially around seals and ports.
- Avoid submerging the phone intentionally or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.
- If the device has been exposed to any harmful liquids, rinse it with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth[3][5][8].
Maintaining the integrity of the Galaxy S25's water resistance involves careful handling and avoiding specific cleaning products that could lead to deterioration over time.
