Can disinfectant can give an Android phone virus?
If you mean a disinfectant like, say, a Lysol spray or Clorox disinfecting wipes, no, it will not give an Android phone a virus.

Use a microfiber cloth, cotton swabs, screen cleaner wipes, conservative amount of rubbing alcohol to clean your phone properly.
