How To Clean The Dust And Dirt From Your PC
Keeping a computer clean is undoubtedly the most useful action that a computer owner can take to prolong life and performance, and in essence knowing how to clean dust and dirt from your PC requires little more
than common sense. As with any other expensive and delicate electrical component care must be taken to avoid inflicting damage, and a good rule of thumb is to use as few damp cleaning agents as possible.
The first step to clean the dust and dirt from your PC is to disconnect the PC from the power source for the sake of safety. Next, disconnect the PC into three separate parts – the tower drive, the monitor and the keyboard, with each component to be cleaned separately.
To clean your tower drive it is best to simply take an upholstery brush attached to a canister vacuum and gently remove any dust and dirt from the outside of the unit, especially the air vents. A cotton swab can remove dirt from the DVD drive, and you can complete the cleaning by wiping the unit with a dry dust rag that is lint free.
To clean the dust and dirt from your monitor requires using a canned aerosol spray to remove dirt, followed by wiping the monitor with a cleaning cloth slightly dampened with ordinary water and dried thoroughly.
The remainder of the aerosol spray canister can be used to remove dust and dirt from the keyboard, and then a cotton swab moistened with rubbing alcohol can clean between individual keys
