Keeping the Computer Free of Dust and Dirt

Keeping your computer system free of dust and dirt will prolong its life. Dust, pet hair, and other particles can build up, creating a blanket effect; as a result, components can overheat, or, in the case of the keyboard and mouse, not work as smoothly and effectively. Check your system once a month for visible signs of dust and debris, and clean it about once every three months.

Cleaning the computer and monitor

1Unplug the computer from its power source.

2Unplug the monitor from its power source.

3Use a clean, dry cloth to dust the computer case and the monitor.

4Use a clean cloth dampened with warm water to wipe the computer case and the monitor case clean.

Do not use water on the monitor screen.

NOTE: If there is sticker residue or a spill on the computer or monitor case, use isopropyl or rubbing alcohol and a lint-free cloth to remove it.

5Use a clean cloth to dry the computer and monitor case.

6Use a clean, dry cloth to clean the monitor screen, or, for more thorough cleaning use an antistatic screen cleaner and a clean cloth.

Cleaning vents

Air vents keep the computer and monitor cool. To maintain efficient air flow, keep these vents clean by using a small battery-operated vacuum cleaner.

(A battery-operated vacuum cleaner eliminates the risk of electric shock.)

1Run the vacuum over the vents in the computer case and the monitor case.

2Remove any debris that has accumulated in and around the computer ports (for example, the Ethernet and USB ports).

Cleaning the keyboard and mouse

When cleaning the keyboard keys, use a low setting on the battery-powered vacuum cleaner, to avoid removing key caps and springs.

1Vacuum between the keys of the keyboard and along the grooves.

2Use a clean, dry cloth and isopropyl alcohol to clean buildup on the keyboard keys and along its edges.

3Wipe the body of the mouse and the mouse cord with cleaning wipes or a cloth and cleanser.

If you have a rollerball mouse, clean the ball and rollers inside:

1Turn the mouse upside down.

2Rotate the ball-cover ring counterclockwise to remove the ring and release the roller ball.

3Rinse the roller ball with soap and warm water.

4Clean the rollers inside the mouse with a cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol.

5After the roller ball and rollers are completely dry, replace the ball and ball-cover ring.
