Clean your Gadgets

t’s time to sweep the floors, clean the closets and throw open all the windows. With spring cleaning on many people’s minds, your gadgets might also need a thorough scrub as well.

From daily use, our gadgets get a wide range of smudges, sticky spots and fingerprints, and sometimes it’s hard to even notice them if you’re staring intently into your smartphone screen. Fortunately, there are a lot of simple and affordable ways to make your gadgets look new again

It’s good to remember to always use a gentle cloth, such as a lotion-free tissue or microfiber cloth, to clean surfaces. Never press down too hard, especially on LCD screens, or you could end up doing more damage. And if you’re going to use any kind of cleaning solution, be sure to spray it onto the cloth. Spraying onto your gadgets may cause liquid to slip into some small crack and damage your device, and accidents like that usually aren’t covered by warranties.

To clean dust that accumulates on fans, vents, and TVs, compressed air is often an easy solution, and can be purchased at most office supply stores. There’s also the Cyber Clean, a ball of goo that rolls over dirt and crumbs, pulling them up. It’s a great solution to the keyboard that’s seen one too many chocolate chip cookies.
