CLEANING TOOLS
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning
the computer and peripherals, users can also use household items to clean their
computers and peripherals. Below is a list of items to use while cleaning the computer or
computer peripherals.
Please keep in mind that some components in the computer may only be cleaned using a
product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the
cleaning tips.
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, it is l
recommended to rub it with a piece of cloth.
Water or rubbing alcohol – 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 the keyboard, mouse, and
other locations.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs.
ESD PRECAUTIONS
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling the components contained
within the LCD should the need arise for adding a functionality. The use of a grounded
wrist strap and an anti-static work pad is recommended. Avoid dust and debris or other
static-accumulating materials in the work area.
