But those items &#8211; including water &#8211; should be avoided at all costs. Make sure you have:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 2 microfiber cloths (best if labelled appropriate for computer screens)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 75% Isopropyl alcohol (also known as rubbing alcohol)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A small, soft brush (again, best if labelled appropriate for computers &#8211; e.g. keyboard brush)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Thin cotton swabs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Toothpicks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Compressed Air (you can get this from most computer shops)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Computer vacuum cleaner (optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>TIP: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can often find all of these key items in computer cleaning kits, available in electronics stores and online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Start with the screen:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Turn off your computer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using the compressed air (or a soft brush), remove any visible dust or small particles from the display\u2019s surface, before wiping the screen.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, apply some rubbing alcohol on one piece of microfiber cloth. Don\u2019t use too much, though. You want the cloth to feel slightly damp. If the liquid starts dripping down from the cloth, it\u2019s a sign you\u2019ve used too much.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gently rub your screen with the wet cloth in a circular motion. Make sure to cover the whole area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once your whole screen has been cleaned, give it a once-over with the dry cloth. Look at your screen from a sharp angle to see if any smudges, dust or fingerprints are left.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Now for the keyboard and touchpad:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Switch off your laptop.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have an SSD-type storage drive in your laptop, you\u2019ll want to start cleaning the keyboard by flipping your laptop upside down with the screen open. While holding it firmly to ensure it doesn\u2019t drop, shake it gently for 5-10 seconds. This step will help remove some of the particles stuck under the buttons. <\/span><b>WARNING:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Don\u2019t do this if you have HDD-type storage in your laptop, as hard drives can be damaged by vibration due to their spinning disk structure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next, flip your laptop back and place it on a table or desk. Use the air canister to blow out all the dust and other particles from the keyboard, the touchpad\u2019s surface and the gaps under the caps. You can also use a soft brush for this step.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spray a little bit of alcohol on one of the microfiber wipes, and then gently rub the whole surface of the keyboard and touchpad.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, dip a cotton swab in alcohol (make sure it\u2019s damp, not soaked), and wipe over the spaces between the caps, as well as the caps themselves.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t forget your laptop vents:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s often overlooked, but an essential cleaning step is taking care of your laptop\u2019s vents and ports. If either is clogged, it can seriously affect your computer\u2019s functionality.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have a small vacuum cleaner, use it on your vents and ports. If it comes with an attachable brush, opt for that one. Go over every two or three times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take a dull toothpick and clean out the dust and gunk from the ports. Make sure not to damage the connectors. Repeat this step for the vents, without damaging the little metal net, if there is one.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take a cotton swab and dip it in rubbing alcohol. Make sure it\u2019s damp, again. Use it to gently go over the vents and connectors in the I\/O ports with the soft part of the swab. If the swab doesn\u2019t fit, don\u2019t force it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After you\u2019ve completed these steps, you can use the air canister again to remove any remaining residue and dry things out.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laptops get grimy really quickly, and often we are blissfully unaware of how bad it is, until you give it a good clean.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s not just about having a hygienic keyboard and a smudge-free screen, a clean laptop also runs better, as there is no dust and grime clogging up the vents and ports which [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":16417,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,51],"tags":[216,6923,136],"class_list":{"0":"post-16416","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-homes-and-decor-and-garden","8":"category-lifestyle","9":"tag-clean","10":"tag-laptop","11":"tag-tips"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
