Whenever you purchase a new laptop, you pay extra attention to its cleanliness and looks. Then, with time, you stop caring that much, and your device often becomes quite dirty. If you are nodding your head in agreement, then you should read on to know how to clean your laptop safely. These tips are shared by expert technicians who offer laptop and computer maintenance services.

Screen Cleaning

The screen is the most important part of a laptop. So, before cleaning it or even any other part of the device, you must turn off the device and unplug it to ensure that you avoid damaging the hardware. To get started, take a soft cloth, like a microfiber cloth and wipe down the screen from one corner to the next. Then, you should dampen it slightly with water or a cleaning solution with half water and half vinegar. Make sure that you don’t use a readymade cleaning solution, and the cloth is not dripping in water or the solution. You can create the cleaning solution at home and run the slightly damp cloth on the screen. Be cautious not to use too much pressure as screens are quite delicate. When you are done with the screen, you can run the cloth over other exterior parts like the ports or the back of the screen too.

Mouse Cleaning

If you use an external mouse, you need to clean it too. When using an optical mouse, you just have to clean the outside that can be sticky at times. In contrast, if you use a mechanical mouse, you need to get rid of dust particles that might stick on the inside and make the smooth functioning harder. You can start the cleaning process by unplugging the mouse from the laptop or removing its batteries. A mechanical mouse can be cleaned by placing it on a piece of paper and moving it around on there as it will roll off the dust by itself. You can also use a clean cloth with a bit of alcohol on it to clean the mouse from the outside. If the mouse has a ball, you need to get the ball out and use the alcohol dampened cloth for deeper cleaning.

Keyboard Cleaning

According to an expert who offers computer maintenance services, many people are guilty of eating or munching on snacks when they work on a laptop. If you are among them, you need to get the tiny crumbs off the keyboard before you even think of cleaning it deeply. For getting the crumbs off, use a can of compressed air, or use a small fan. Once the crumbs are off, you can take a clean cloth, dampen it with isopropyl alcohol and run it over the keys. You can use Q-tip dipped in alcohol to get to the areas between the keys. Let the alcohol fry off completely before you start using the laptop again.
