Re: Do you clean your computer?

I just pop my iPad in the washing machine on a delicate wash.
It comes up a treat!


Seriously, l have a protective plastic film on the screen and it is kept in a case, so no need to clean it really.

Just a bit of spit and an old rag on the screen and it comes up like new.

Re: Do you clean your computer?


This was my old graphics card which i constantly overlooked when blowing out the dust. The fans were facing downwards in the computer.

just taken front grid of computer to get to the dust traps, already with dust on them , and that is
with the computer on the desk. Would be far worse if it was on the floor.



and i only recently gave them a clean

Re: Do you clean your computer?

I have a special little brush for the keys and a screen spray and cloth for the screen, PC seem to attract the dust and with hot sticky fingers they must get very germ-laden.

Re: Do you clean your computer?

I only use a tablet - when there are too many finger marks to see the screen properly, I give it a wipe with my sleeve or a bit of glass cloth - does that count as "cleaning" ?

I am not so worried about the outside - it's the processor I get concerned about.





All nice and shiny again.
