Tis the season of giving, receiving, and when the sales really are that good, impulsive purchasing. But regardless of how you have come across your newest gizmos, doodads, or gadgets this year, it is important to ensure their longevity by carefully cleaning and maintaining them. So a few tips on keeping your all-too-cool, maybe even all-too-expensive tech toys safe:
Cleaning laptops and PC’s from time to time is not just a good way to guarantee they keep their sleek new look. It can actually be a safeguard against early decay since stains, dust, and specs can eventually work their way into the device and affect its integrity. According to Wikihow, the screen can be cleaned by lightly misting a 50-50 solution of distilled water and white vinegar onto a clean cloth, and then gently rubbing in a smooth motion. This method is also applicable to TV’s, but is not recommended for anything touch-screen due to differences in material make-up and sensitivity. So when it comes to a smart-phone or tablet, the best bet is to clean the screen using a microfiber cloth.
A compressed-air product such as Dust-Off can be used to blast impurities off/out of keyboards. This can also prove to be useful in removing anything under a key that is causing it to stick. When cleaning your PC or laptop, it is always best to make sure it is powered off.
