Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • cotton swabs
  • cleaning solution
  • paper towels
  1. Step 1

    Spray a paper towel with cleaning solution and gently wipe the screen of your laptop. Make sure the paper towel is soft so the screen does not get scratched.

  2. Step 2

    Gently blow into the fans or open areas of your laptop, to get out any dust or dirt.

  3. Step 3

    Take a cotton swab and dip it into the cleaning solution. Next trace the keys with the cotton swap, going over the keys first and than in between the grooves of the keys. Make sure you clean between every key and grove.

  4. Step 4

    Try covering your laptop with a towel when not in use, to prevent dust.
