Computers are very useful for everything from intense work to gaming and social interactions with family and friends. Our computers sometimes get a bit dirty from use without us noticing, though. What condition is yours in? It is very easy to overlook cleaning a computer, sometimes for long periods of time. If the monitor, keyboard, and CPU are covered with layers of grime from months or even years of neglect except to be used, it's time to clean the whole thing. Make this a top priority on your list, and you will be surprised how quickly it goes.
Your computer deserves at least a quick once-over. If the computer is not as clean as it was the day it was purchased, that may be from periods of gathering dust, dirt, and even crumbs. It is not hard to give a computer a well-deserved cleaning.
Gather up a soft 100% cotton cloth that won't put off lint, a can of compressed air, a few q-tips, a screwdriver, and plain water or recommended cleaning fluid. Ask a technician about this, first. You may also want to consider a small brush designed for the keyboard, or an old toothbrush with soft bristles.
Common sense computer cleaning safety dictates that computers should be turned off and unplugged from any power source while being cleaned, avoiding harmful or possibly deadly injuries. Clean a computer like you would any other item, from the uppermost components to those on the bottom, ensuring that what has been cleaned does not get dirty again.
With a lightly dampened cloth (never spray any liquid directly onto any electronic), thoroughly and gently wipe away all dust, dirt, and smudges from the monitor. Some screens must be cleaned with a special fluid only. Wipe all around the outside of the monitor well. Now do the same for the keyboard. Using the compressed air, spray out the keys, and loosen anything stubborn with the toothbrush. You can also lightly run a vacuum hose over the surface of the keys.
A CPU should be cleaned with care without touching delicate inner workings. Remove the outer case only to blow compressed air into the inside for dust removal, and then clean the CPU housing inside and out with a cleaner-dampened cloth. Dry thoroughly, and replace. After this, give all other hardware, wiring, and various other computer components that lead to the computer a quick cleaning, finishing with the computer mouse. Never take a computer mouth apart, except for one that has a roller ball. In that case, only the part with the ball should be taken apart for cleaning.
Not only will you save possible costly repairs when you keep your computer clean, but it will be much more visually enjoyable as well. Try to keep cleaning your computer a regular priority item.
