You can choose one of three options below to clean your laptop’s screen:

• Use lint-free cloth to clean screen. Laptops have LCD monitors. The cloth will get off finger prints and remove dust on the screen.

• Use water with a sponge to wipe screen. You can also use a damp sponge to clean your laptop’s screen. Make sure you use only water and no detergent. Make sure you squeeze all the water from the sponge before wiping.

• Use an LCD monitor cleaning kit. You can get a monitor cleaning kit from a nearby computer shop. The kit contains a damp small towel that has been moistened with a special made monitor-cleaning solution.

NB: You have to turn off as well as unplug your laptop before cleaning the monitor to avoid electric shock.

Do NOT do this:

Don’t use alcohol or cleaners that contain ammonia to clean your LCD screen. It can damage the LCD display system which will in turn make the image to be blur or unreadable.

Clean the Keyboard

You can use a small portable vacuum cleaner to clean your laptop’s keyboard. With the vacuum cleaner, you can suck out crumbs, hair and other tiny particles between the laptop’s keys.

You can use a pencil eraser to rub off build-up material on the key caps. After this is done, you can use the vacuum cleaner again to suck up the eraser stubble that has fallen between the keys.
