HOW TO CLEAN YOUR PC KEYBOARD SAFELY

Benefits: Laptop cleaning is a
quick fix for sticky keys and
blurred screens. In just a few
minutes, cleaning also can
improve the overall performance
of your notebook.
Cleaning Tools
Tools for cleaning a laptop are
easy to find and inexpensive. A
lint free cloth and an old
toothbrush will generally do the
job. However, for some areas of
cleaning, in place of the
toothbrush you may want to use
compressed air or invest in a
computer vacuum.
1. Turn off your laptop. Give it a
minute or so to totally power
down and then unplug it.
2. Clean your screen. LCD screens
are fragile. Do check your
manufacturer ’s recommendation
for the best way to clean yours.
However, in most cases, all you
need do is wipe it with a damp
cloth, making sure to wring out
all excess moisture. Most
importantly, unless you
manufacturer recommends
differently, don ’t use alcohol or
ammonia based cleaners.
3. Wipe down the keyboard.
Remove crumbs and debris using
your toothbrush (or compressed
air or vacuum). Wipe again.
4. Remove dust and debris from
vents with the toothbrush. The
propellant in compressed air may
contain moisture. Some
manufacturers suggest that
computer vacuums may damage
electronic components.
Remember always to check your
manufacturer ’s
recommendations.
Tip: Always use a lint free cloth to
clean your computer. Instead of
picking up debris, paper
toweling can scratch your screen
and leave paper lint on your
machine.
Tip: Never spray any cleaner
directly onto your computer.
Always wet the cloth with the
cleaner whether using water, a
homemade solution, or a
commercial preparation.
