1. Prepare the cleanser
Jolie Kerr hygiene experts said, there are four things that need to be considered to keep the laptop clean: alcohol, microfiber cloth, cotton, and a dust blower.
Alcohols with 90% isopropyl will not cause damage to the laptop's internal components. If laptop users have dirt that is difficult to remove, use a melamine sponge. However, stay cautious in its use because of the rough nature of melamine sponges.
If you see a set of device cleaning devices in the electronics store, do not be tempted to buy it immediately. Home appliances can also be used to save expenses.
2. Start cleaning from the inside
Cleaning the dirt on the keyboard may be interesting. But it would be nice to clean the inside of the laptop first.
With a dust blower, the dirt will fly. So it's useless to clean the screen first. Therefore, start by cleaning or blowing dust on the sidelines of the device using compressed air.
The first thing to do is turn off the laptop. Then, unplug the power cord and remove the laptop battery if it can be removed.
Use a dust blower to remove all the inherent dirt, and blow it into any gaps like the keyboard, the vent, even the USB port.
Spray the air from the dust blower on the inside of the laptop. This prevents the buildup of dust over time and causes the laptop to overheat.
For laptop users who smoke or who have pet animals, should be more frequent and careful cleaning the laptop. The reason, dust, smoke, animal hair, and other particles more easily enter into the cracks of the laptop.
3. Clean the outside of the laptop
Use a microfiber cloth, pour the alcohol in a microfiber cloth, squeeze it so that the alcohol does not drip. Clean the surface of the laptop. Cleansing cotton and alcohol can also be used to clean the keyboard and small spaces between keyboards.
If there are stains that are hard to lose, rub the melamine sponges slowly and remain cautious to prevent damage to the appearance of the laptop.
Treatment will be slightly different when cleaning the screen. Users should be able to clean fingerprints that stick with a dry microfiber cloth.
However, if the stain is attached requires extra effort to clean it, pour a little water on the cloth. Avoid using household cleaning soaps that contain harsh chemicals such as ammonia or alkaline to clean the screen.
