There are a few mistakes to avoid when cleaning your personal computer to prevent damage to the device.

Laptops - personal computers - have become an indispensable part of modern life, supporting work, study and entertainment. Regular cleaning not only helps maintain the computer for longer life but also helps it operate smoothly, and prevents technical problems.

However, the following 4 mistakes are easy to make when cleaning and wiping your laptop.

Use non-specialized detergents

Using strong or non-specialized detergents to clean the screen or laptop surface will cause abrasion, blur the screen or damage internal components.

Therefore, pay attention to using specialized cleaning solutions for electronic devices or diluted distilled water to clean and protect the durability of your laptop.

Spray liquid directly onto laptop

Spraying cleaning liquid directly onto the laptop screen or keyboard can cause water to seep into the machine, causing short circuits or damage to components.

Be sure to spray the solution onto a soft cloth and gently wipe the surface of the device to keep the laptop clean and beautiful without damaging the structure of the device.

Using the wrong tools

Using sharp, hard objects such as knives or metal to clean dust can easily scratch or damage the laptop surface.

Instead, use specialized tools for computers such as soft brushes, dust blowers or microfiber towels to help clean your laptop more effectively.

Do not turn off the power and remove the battery

Cleaning a laptop while it is still plugged in can be dangerous for both the user and the device. Before cleaning your laptop, be sure to turn off the power and remove the battery (if possible) to ensure the safety of your computer.
