The solution could be worse than the problem
This article is a poorly disguised ad for ionSwipes.

However excessive use of antimicrobial wipes will lead to antibiotic resistant microbes. According to their own statistics the wipes only kill 99.9% of bacteria. That means 0.1% survive - again there are about 25 bacteria that survive each time you wipe your phone. Not only do they survive they are very angry. Repeat this a few times and you have a new strain of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Just wash your food and wash your hands with soap and water. Although then ionSwipes won't make much money.
