Computer Cleaning Tips

1.Never spray or squirt any liquid onto any computer component. If a
spray is needed, spray the liquid onto a cloth and then use that cloth
to rub down the component.
2.You can use a vacuum to suck up dirt, dust, or hair around the
computer on the outsidecase. However,do notuse a vacuum for the inside
of your computer as it generates a lot of static electricity that can
damage the internal components of your computer. If you need to use a
vacuum to clean the inside of your computer, use a portable battery
powered vacuum designed to do this job or try using compressed air.
3.When cleaning a component or the computer, turn it off before cleaning.
4.Be cautious when using any cleaning solvents; some individuals may
have allergicreactions to chemicals in cleaning solvents and some
solvents can even damage the case. Try to always use water or a highly
diluted solvent.
5.When cleaning, be careful not to accidentally adjust any knobs or
controls. Inaddition, when cleaning the back of the computer, if
anything is plugged in, make sure not to disconnect any of the plugs.
6.When cleaning fans, especially the smaller fans within a portable
computer or laptop it's suggested that you either hold the fan or
place something in-between the fan blades to prevent it from spinning.
Sprayingcompressed air into a fan or cleaning a fan with a vacuum may
cause damage or back voltage to be generated.
7.Never eat or drink around the computer.
8.Limit smoking around the computer.
