Most people only think of potatoes as food, but this humble vegetable hides a surprising household use. Rubbing a raw potato slice on a phone screen can actually remove fingerprints, reduce smudges, and create a temporary anti-fog, anti-glare effect.
It’s one of those old tricks you try once… and suddenly you can’t stop using it.
⭐ Why a Potato Works on Phone Screens
Potatoes contain natural starches that:
- Remove oils and fingerprints
- Reduce fogging from breath or humidity
- Leave a thin film that makes the screen look clearer
- Help prevent smudging for a few hours
This doesn’t damage the phone — it simply cleans and conditions the glass naturally.
