Keeping Your Keyboard and Screen Clean
The keyboard and the screen can get very dirty very quickly. Keeping these parts of your computer clean will save time and money on repairs. Sometimes, a key will get stuck on the keyboard and it’s usually because there’s some kind of sticky food under it. Naturally, eating and drinking around computers is frowned upon. Be sure hands are clean before using a computer.
On a weekly basis, unplug the keyboard and wipe it with a damp sponge. (be sure all water is squeezed out!!!) You may also use a can of “air” for occasional dusting. When your keyboard gets extremely filthy you may take it home and run it through your dishwasher. It will need to dry for 3-5 days but it comes out like a brand new keyboard.
To clean the computer screen, spray a small amount of window cleaner on a paper towel and wipe clean. Never spray directly on the screen.
Keeping these parts of your computer clean shows respect for other’s property. There are lots of germs on a keyboard that spread from user to user. Also, keep in mind that you are not the only one who uses your computer.
