Do you clean your Computer off?

First you are lucky you did not ruin your computer by letting is get so dirty. I clean mine every 10 days of so. I used a dual cleaning pack made for computers which has wipes for cleaning the screen and wiping down the rest of the computer and a compressed air spray for blowing the dust out between the keys on the keyboard. Also important is to blow the grid over the fan. My friend had to get a new computer because she had a dust bunny in the fan and it burned out the whole computer.

I don't clean the inside of my keyboard. I use an aircan and blow out the dust and yuck. * http://www.expotools.co.uk/s.aspx?k=19557 * Wiping it down with a damp washcloth is ok. Spraying it with Lysol is good too especially if you've been sick and you think it's a germ factory! * Cleaning the mouse is important too. That you can take apart and remove gunk and hair. I use my fingernails. If the ball is dirty, I use gentle dish soap on it. You then screw it back together. * The monitor can be cleaned on the glass surface with a damp rag and the holes air-canned. * Spraying the inside of the computer tower with an air-can will help your computer too. Be sure to turn off your computer however, but leave it plugged in to your surge protector to ground it. I clean mine once a month because I live in the high dusty desert next to a dirt road. * More info~ * http://www.technibble.com/how-to-clean-the-inside-of-a-computer-case/ * There are specialty cleaning discs for the interiors of your disk drives. * Air-cans cost about $7 and last for several months if you use them only for computer components.

Mine is really dirty too. I suppose you could take it apart to clean inside of it. But I would be afraid of messing somehing up. You cab hook up the brush attachment to the vacuum and vacuum and dust the keyboard real good. Here is amother idea, get a paint brush, lightly spray the ends of the bristles with glass cleaner, then you can dust inbetween the keys. You can also use a toothbrush. You can also buy air in a can that you blow the keys with. Good luck Marcie, I need to do this my own self. Can you imagine what kind of stuff is in the keyboard, yuck. Its scary just the thought of it.

I never clean mine, simply because I think it can work without being cleaned. I do however keep food away from it, so nothing falls in between the keys.

i open my keyboard remove it's chip and put all think in water i use some soap then clean it with brush and use hairdryer to dry it completely.

Did you ever try taking the vacumm atachment and try sucking the dust and other stuff away? Try to avoid the water.

Mine gets really dirty all of the time, just because it gets used so much lol. When I clean mine, first I unplug it from power source, and then I take my vaccuum (with the soft brush attatchment) and sweep it over the keyboard. Then I tip the keyboard upside down and shake gently, and then repeat with the vaccuum. That gets most of the stuff out that accumulates in there. Then I take a squirt of automatic dishwasher detergent and mix it in with some warm water. I use a soft cloth dipped in the mix, and I don't touch it to the keyboard until it's squeezed out real good...don't want any droplets to get into the wiring below! I find this way cleans it up really good, and I can use the same mix on my screen, keyboard, and mouse cover and all. (I also use a soft cotton lintfree cloth to dry everything off with...screen especially.) I find this way to work the best for me, and I've never lost a screen, keyboard, or mouse doing it, and it always comes up super clean just like when it was new. I usually clean mine about every month or so, even though my system is very old, it still looks like new. If you are gentle, and don't use but a moist amount of water on your cloth, it's pretty safe to do it this way.

I really really need to clean my keyboard on my laptop, but since it is a laptop I'm not sure what to do or how I should do it. With the desktop computer at home, cleaning the keys on it was not difficult. I'm just at a loss as to what I should do here.

i unplug the keyboard and turn it upside down to get rid of all the crumbs, then get a large brush (like a blush brush) and dust it or you can actually buy mini vacuums that are only for your computer! i wouldnt put water on it though...

You made me look, and it IS=o. All we need is just a dump small piece of cloth dip in liquid soap, a stick and rub it away. The same thing with the CPU and monitor.

I clean my computer when i know that it really needs to be clean. But no I do not just clean it for no reason. But computers they really need to make sure they are cleaned up. I think that the computers probably hold some of the most germs. But you should be careful with getting keys wet. I think it might be ok to get like some lysol put it on a rag or something and then use the rag and wipe it down. But I think that you should try to keep your computer definitely dust free.

I'm too afraid to clean my monitor as it an LCD and very pressure sensitive. You can leave permanent imprints on the screen etc.

Oh definitly do NOT soak it in water! Oh dear, that would be the end of it. You could get some electronics cleaner, usually from a local electronics store, or even a department store. You should ask someone while you are there, I'm sure they will be able to help you. I usually use that kind of stuff to clean mine, because it gets really dirty. I always have hair in it, because my dog sheds a lot, blah, I hate it.

yaaaaaaaa i cleaned my computer once in a week with soft cutton and i thing its really good

I use a can of air to spray off my computer keyboard, If it does not remove the dirt that is stuck to it, then I use a rag with fursniture polish on it to dust the keys and board off. Sometimes I also use a wet rag with claener on it also to wipe it down good.

hello Marcy, i keep mine clean frequently as ppossible.the fact that the puter gets so dusty,is that i wonder where the dust comes from? But how i usually clean my puter,is by taking a damp cloth and soak it in the water,and than take it and clean the puter off. i use to use window cleaner to clean the screen on the monitor,but my old monitor got tore up,and i think that the window cleaner did it. so,now all i use is the dry cloth,with some water. that keeps it clean about as good as the window cleaner.

hell ya with the amount of dust and stuff in the air i have to so tht i dosent over heat and crash on me. clean ur comp keeps it running good and makes it last longer

i clean my computer with those i for got what its called but its like air in a can or i use a leaf blower and my computer case keeps my computer dust free as for my key board i take out each key and clean the key board..

oh mine stays really bad and dirty since i havethis habiot of carrying it on my bed and then eating it there and working on it.weeks pass before i even go ahead and wipe it with a tissue paper.what you can do it to wipe it with tissue paper on teh outside and when it comes to keyboard because that's teh tricky part i use an ear bud and dip it in a solution and then clean the computer with it.it works!!!

I was once told by a friend that you could put a keyboard in the dishwasher because the heating cycle part would dry everything out again. Haven't had the courage to try it though so no guarantee.
