4 Mistakes to Avoid When Cleaning Electronic Devices

cleaning electronic devices

Cleaning electronic devices such as phones, laptops, and TVs should be part of our daily household routine. But how do you know that you are doing it right? 

Electronics need cleaning from dirt, grime, or dust as we use them or leave them be for a while. But we don’t often consider what we shouldn’t do. 

If you want to keep your gadgets sparkling fresh without causing any damage, avoid doing any of these mistakes:

Using cleaner on screens

Applying cleaning fluid of any kind on your gadget screens is a surefire way to destroy the surface, so extra care is needed.

Spray just a few drops on the affected gadget and wipe using a microfiber cloth instead.

Hot air on gadgets

Using intense heat can cause lasting damage to your gadgets as certain parts can melt or malfunction. 

When cleaning electronic devices, don’t use your hairdryer to dry off gadgets with hot air to get rid of moisture. Just make sure to get as much water out by either pat-drying it or using a paper towel.

Vacuuming keyboards

This is the best mistake to avoid if you would rather not lose as many keycaps from your keyboard as possible.

Vacuums are powerful. They won’t only rip off your keyboard’s buttons but they will damage the insides as well. Use a microfiber cloth dipped in cleaner instead to wipe it down and shake off the many crumbs that could be stuck inside. 

Dealing with messy smartphones

We can take smartphones just about anywhere, including places with too much dust, grime, and moisture.

If you are bringing your phone with you to the toilet seat, keep it clean by wiping it with a microfiber cloth every other day. 

In case you need to use a cleaner, never spray it directly on the phone. Spray the solution on a soft cloth and use that to wipe your gadget. Let it dry for about five minutes before using your smartphone.

It’s one thing to clean your most trusted electronics, but it’s another to freshen up other areas around your home.
