Laptops need more frequent cleaning than desktops due to their frequent use.
In the event that you travel often, having your laptop in your luggage, you should clean it at least once a month.
Accumulation of dust and… smudges, especially on the screen and keys can impair its operation.
Before starting cleaning, always make sure to turn it off and disconnect it from any power source. You should also remove the battery.
In addition to being safer, it will also be easier to spot dirty spots and dust.
Clear the screen
Clean the dust from the screen using a microfiber cloth. Fold the cloth and clean the entire width of the screen, front and back. Do not apply pressure trying to remove stubborn spots and do not rub the screen as this may cause damage.
Make a natural cleanser
Use a damp sponge to remove the dirt. Opt for clean or distilled water, rather than tap water, which can leave streaks on your screen. Make sure, of course, to squeeze the sponge well, so that no water drips. Wipe your screen gently and under no circumstances rub with force.
You could also make your own natural cleaner by mixing equal amounts of distilled water and white vinegar. For particularly stubborn spots, add just a drop of liquid dish soap to the water. Do not clean internal ports or vents with the sponge, as you risk damaging its components.
Shake the dust off your keyboard
Shake the dust off your keyboard. Turn it upside down with the screen open to remove accumulated dust and food crumbs. Shake it gently to remove any larger particles.
Absorb the dust with a hand broom
Use a hand broom to absorb dust from the keyboard. Do not use a vacuum cleaner as this may damage the keyboard.
Eraser for difficult spots
Gently rub the keyboard with an eraser to remove any dirt that may have accumulated from your fingers. If you observe the keys from an angle, you will see which spots are dirtiest. If you find spots that are “sticky” from beverage drops that cannot be removed with gentle cleaning, use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Make sure the cotton is not too wet.
According to the newsit, don’t apply pressure between the keys with the cotton ball as moisture can build up under the keys.
Cotton swab and toothpick
An alternative option to clean the keys from dirt and dust is to use a cotton swab. Also, the toothpick is a useful tool, especially in the slots, but in this case you have to be very careful not to cause scratches.
