Coronavirus has brought proper disinfecting practices into the spotlight. But keeping high-touch surfaces like your laptop, keyboard, and mouse clean and disinfected is a good practice all year round.
Don’t think cleaning your computer is important? Think again. Your keyboard alone could be hosting more bacteria than a toilet seat – 400 times more, in fact.
While you should always check your computer manufacturer’s specific cleaning and disinfecting directions, in general, these tips will help you keep your PC and laptop surfaces germ-free.
DO turn off and unplug your laptop, keyboard, and monitor before cleaning.
DON’T use Windex or glass cleaner – your screen isn’t a window. Also, glass cleaners don’t kill germs.
DON’T use paper towels or other abrasive materials.
DON’T use bleach. Like ever.
DO use a 70-percent isopropyl alcohol solution (aka rubbing alcohol).
DON’T spray a cleaning agent directly on your computer’s surface. Spray your cleaner onto a cloth first and then gently wipe the cloth over the surface.
DO wring out your wipe or cloth so it’s not dripping wet, just slightly damp. Liquid + electronics = disaster.
DO remember that PCs and Macs may require slightly different cleaning materials & procedures.
The same instructions apply for laptop touchpads. Simply turn off your laptop and swipe a clean microfiber cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol across the touchpad, and let it air dry.
