Amid coronavirus, CNBC Select reviews how to clean your credit cards, which could be the dirtiest thing in your wallet. Plus, tips on minimizing the spread of germs when paying with credit.

Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free microfiber cloth.How to minimize germs when paying with credit cards

When you pay with a physical credit card, there are a lot of hands that can come in contact with it. For starters, you're touching the card, then the cashier may touch the card and if there's an issue, a manager may step in and also make contact with the card. Then the card comes back to you.And it doesn't end there — you may be asked to touch a payment terminal or sign a receipt.

But you may not know that cardholder signatures are no longer required for in-store transactions for credit cards that have a magnetic stripe or chip. Card networks, such as Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Discover, did away with most signature requirements in 2018. Even still, the merchant may still ask for a signature due to store policy or local regulations, so this isn't a surefire solution.or mobile wallets. Most credit cards are issued with contactless capability and if you have an old card, you can request a contactless card. Keep in mind, card issuers are facing high call volumes due to coronavirus concerns, so a new card may be delayed.

If you clean your cc for fear of Covid, you might be a total idiot.

Credit cards don't clean themselves? Cats are so much more efficient.

I just spit on mine. Lubricates so it slides in easier.

I clean mine by swiping it at establishments such as Tiffany’s and Bvlgari. Seems to make it not usable anymore for some reason. Problem is solved straight away.

It's been over a year. People (other than liberal sheep) have figured it out. I've never cleaned a credit card and yet I'm alive and well and am making fun of liberal sheep on this garbage website.

🤡🤡🤡

redirect the a cargo with Wind ows, open arms with a bottle on the red sea, then lock done. with pit locker.

Give it to me and I'll have it cleaned out in an hour.

oh seriously. Get a grip people.

You don’t need to. Does your credit card sneeze in your face

That’s a waste of 1’s & 0’s.

If this is content worthy, I can only imagine the lack of content once coronavirus is over.

Clean it? Put it in your wallet and wash your hands. Why would anyone clean their credit card?

Fantastic thanks

A year late on this one

Piss on it. Heard that’s sterile

Lol

Really . Who cares

It’s called Apple Pay. And not licking your credit card.

Is it possible to find a good guy on Twitter?

Show us the evidence that we get COVID off our credit cards?

I’d suggest a wet towel or antibacterial wipe

this is terrible news

Your toothbrush has fecal matter on it. Are you disinfecting that or nah?

I spray on it.

I just lick mine clean. Slides easier into my leather wallet.

I just moved to your city, who wouldn't mind showing me interesting places?

I strongly believe that this kind of articles doesn't help, creates fear without scientific background and must be blocked by Twitter , same as realdonaldtrump

If you're going to this extent, I would be cleaning cash and the wallet itself before considering credit cards. Cash is probably the 'dirtiest' thing in your possession.
