More PC Cleaning Tips
Last time we talked about how to clean your monitors, laptop screens and scanner glass safely. Today let’s talk about keyboards and pointing devices. Keyboards get dirty incredibly fast because we use them so much. Don’t think so? Turn yours upside down and give it a couple of firm shakes. The shower of crumbs and grit may surprise you. A gentle tap on the edge of your desk will dislodge any stubborn particles. You can also use compressed air to clean between keys. Here is a good step by step tutorial on how to do that. Be sure you heed the warnings!
Today’s optical mice and trackballs rarely need cleaning, but if you are still using the old kind with a ball, you’ll want to clean it regularly. Take the ball out and use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean the rollers inside. Make sure everything is dry before putting the ball back in. Make sure you clean that mousepad too!
