Tips For A Clean Laptop
Just like any other frequently used tool, laptops can accumulate dust, fingerprints, and grime. Regular cleaning not only makes it look better but can also help with performance and longevity. Here's a simple guide to keep our TUSD laptops looking their best:
IMPORTANT: Power down & unplug the laptop before cleaning it to avoid an electrical shock.
Supplies: A soft, lint-free microfiber cloth, custodial rag and water. Optional supplies include Windex, rubbing alcohol and screen cleaner wipes.
To clean the screen:
IMPORTANT: Never spray liquid directly onto the screen!
Gently wipe the screen in a back-and-forth motion with a soft microfiber cloth lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol or a screen-specific cleaner. Use a dry part of the microfiber cloth to remove any streaks or remaining moisture.
To clean the keyboard:
IMPORTANT: Never spray liquid directly on the keyboard!
Gently turn the laptop upside down and lightly tap the bottom to dislodge any loose crumbs or debris.
Wipe the keycaps with a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water. Be careful not to get any liquid underneath the keys. Ensure the keyboard is completely dry before closing it and turning it back on.
To clean the exterior:
Gently wipe down the laptop's lid, base, and sides with a slightly damp microfiber cloth or a custodial rag. Water or a glass cleaner such as Windex can be used to clean the exterior of the laptop. Peel off any stickers from students' laptops. Avoid Ports: Be careful not to get moisture into any ports (USB, charging, headphone jack).
By following these steps, our TUSD laptops will be clean and well-maintained!
