Cleaning Tools
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of
cleaning your computer and peripherals users can also use household items to clean
their computers and peripherals. Below is a listing of item s you may need or want to
use while cleaning your computer or computer peripherals.
Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be able to be
cleaned using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it
will be mentioned in the cleaning.
 Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component. Although
paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we still recommend you
to rub it with a piece of cloth.
 W ater or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some
water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer. Unknown solvents may be
harmful to the plastics parts.
 Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other
particles out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a
computer. Over time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and
cause circuitry to corrode.
 Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and
other locations.
 Foam swabs: W henever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as foam
swabs.
Note: We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before you start
to clean any single components.
