TIPS ON HOW TO CLEAN YOUR LAPTOP

Cleaning your laptop can help to prolong its life, and make your computing tasks more enjoyable.

Very well, cleaning a laptop can be a difficult task sometimes. But it is important to always clean the laptop, as it helps to prevent damage, and make it last longer.

Here’s how to clean your laptop:

  1. Turn off the laptop and disconnect the battery.
  2. Turn the laptop upside down and tap it to get rid of loose crumbs.
  3. Spray some canned air on the keyboard. This will loosen some of the gunk that's stuck in between the keys.
  4. Get a microfiber towel and a cleaning solution for computers or laptops.
  5. Use the right cleaning solution to get your microfiber cloth ready. Keep in mind to avoid touching your keyboard or screen directly with the cleaning product.
  6. Spray the cloth with a small amount of the cleaning agent.
  7. In circular motions, gently wipe the laptop's surface.
  8. Wipe the screen repeatedly until no more debris or dust is visible on its surface.

The chassis, display, keyboard and touchpad, ports, and cooling vents should all be kept clean on your laptop.

You can clean your laptop's cooling system-the fan and heat sink if you're comfortable opening it up, but don't try this if you've never opened a laptop before. Cleaning the cooling system can assist in the resolution of laptop overheating issues and associated symptoms such as your laptop freezing or shutting down abruptly.

Don’t forget to always keep your laptop in a cool and dry environment, as it helps to keep the motherboard and other hardware of the laptop at rest.
