Getting ready to sell your Pixel 7 Pro? Proper cleaning and preparation can help you get the best price and ensure your device is in top condition for the new owner. Follow this quick guide to clean and prepare your Pixel 7 Pro for sale.
Gather Your Supplies
- Microfiber cloth
- Isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher)
- Soft-bristled brush or toothbrush
- Compressed air canister
- Screen cleaning solution (optional)
- Replacement packaging and accessories (if available)
Cleaning Your Pixel 7 Pro
Start by turning off your device and removing any cases or accessories. Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the screen and body of the phone to remove fingerprints and smudges. For stubborn spots, lightly dampen the cloth with a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol, avoiding excess moisture.
Use a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush to clean around the ports, speakers, and buttons. Be gentle to avoid damaging any components. Use compressed air to blow out dust from the charging port, SIM slot, and speaker grilles. Never insert objects into ports or openings.
Preparing Your Device for Sale
Back up all your data to Google Drive or another cloud service. Once backed up, perform a factory reset to erase all personal information. Navigate to Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset).
Remove your SIM card and any SD cards. Clean the device again with a microfiber cloth to ensure it looks presentable. If you have original packaging, chargers, or accessories, gather them to include with the sale.
Final Tips
