10 Easy Laptop Cleaning Hacks
Screen & display
Microfiber Cloth & Distilled Water: Lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with distilled water and gently wipe the screen. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Screen Cleaner Spray: Use a dedicated screen cleaner for stubborn smudges but never spray directly onto the screen.
Keypad & touchpad
Compressed Air: Blow out dust and crumbs between keys using a can of compressed air.
Sticky Note Trick: Slide the adhesive side of a sticky note between keys to pick up dust and debris.
Cotton Swab & Isopropyl Alcohol: Dip a cotton swab in 70 percent+ isopropyl alcohol and clean around the keys and touchpad.
Ports & vents
Soft Brush or Toothbrush: Use a soft, dry brush to remove dust from USB ports, headphone jacks, and cooling vents.
Vacuum Cleaner on low power: Carefully suck out dust from vents using a vacuum on a low setting
Exterior & general cleaning
Damp Cloth & Dish Soap: A slightly damp cloth with a drop of dish soap can clean the laptop’s exterior. Avoid soaking any part.
Magic Eraser for stains: Use a magic eraser (very gently) to remove tough stains on plastic surfaces.
Bonus Tip: Prevent dirt buildup
Wash hands and use a keyboard cover: Keeping hands clean and using a keyboard cover reduces dust and grime.
