Domestic Cleaning Advice: Computer Cleaning
The computer you use can get pretty dirty sometimes and that
might reduce it's performance and reduce it's life time so here
is some advice on how you can clean it up.
The computer won't be well cleaned if you'll use alcohol
cleaners, you'll need to use a hard surface cleaner, in
concentrated solution in warm water.
Cleaning the case You'll need a cloth that you'll wrung in the
solution you chose. Use this cloth to wipe the casing and all
the external parts (cabling, keyboard). Make sure you wash the
cloth since the soil will be considerable. Excess water
shouldn't be used and try not to let water go into the vents of
the case. You will be able to clean between the keyboard keys by
using damp cloth pushed between the keys with toothpicks.
The following actions need to be taken every six months.

You'll need to open the case and remove all the dust from it and
from the vents. You'll need to be very care full while cleaning
inside the case. You can use the vacuum cleaner but be sure the
motor is far from the computer and it's components. Also, you
should earth yourself by touching any metal object that you know
it's earthed, like a radiator.
You should vacuum the vents of the casing and the keyboard. The
keyboard is a place where a lot of dust and rubbish collects,
the amount might surprise you. Keeping the dust away from the
vents of the case and the coolers inside it you'll prevent
overheating the computer that leads to damaging the components.
Also, it's not a good thing to push the dust out of the
computer, it's just going to stay in your room and will
eventually get back in the computer
Mouse cleaning The mouse can be cleaned by removing the ball and
dusting inside, remove stray food and human or dog hairs from
around the rollers. You'll have to keep the mouse dry,
everything has to be scraped out.
That's just a small bit of advice meant to help you keep your
computer clean, it's a good thing to get your computer to a
professional cleaning service for better cleaning.
