When you have a computer, we can spend hours just playing video games, working, accessing our social networks or doing every kind of activity imaginable.
Really, having a computer has become a blessing for most of the people, just starting with the entertainment that it provides us daily through a connection.
This, to the point that many say that it is impossible not to have something to do or to be bored if you have a computer with a good internet connection. Given this, many people seek to have a more powerful computer than they have now in terms of specifications or simply improve some component.
This makes our computers run faster and more efficiently, with fewer hiccups than we would have under normal circumstances. But for this, people often save several months before being able to buy even a single component, which makes the parts we buy for our computer much more valued and we want to take better care of it.
However, just buying more expensive parts for our computer or downloading our favorite games changes the fact that we must take care of it. Yes, a computer takes more care than optimizing the programs, the space you have on the hard disk or improving the operating system.
When a computer works it can accumulate large amounts of dust and other particles, which in the short and long term will cause small problems such as overheating. That is why, below we will show you how you can clean the hardware of your computer without the need for compressed air.
What do I need to be able to clean my computer hardware?
In order to clean your computer hardware, you need some things that you most likely have somewhere in your house, since they are extremely mundane objects. But, there may be some that you do not have on hand and you have to go shopping, but luckily none of them are too expensive.
To begin, you will need a set of precision screwdrivers with which to disassemble different components of our computer. In addition, you will need a small microfiber towel or one that can grip the dust properly, as well as a small brush or extremely soft brush that cannot damage the internal components of your PC.
And, you can also use a mixture of rubbing alcohol, distilled water, and a couple drops of dehumidifier to clean certain crevices.
But if you do not feel safe with this, you do not have to use it, but we do recommend that you use latex gloves or an antistatic bracelet to be able to touch the components of your PC without fear of causing a short circuit due to static. And, once you have all this, you can start cleaning your computer.
How do I clean my computer?
Once you have all your supplies on hand, you can start working on cleaning your computer, so unplug it and remove all external cables to bring the tower to a table. On this table, you can put the tower on a towel or cardboard and proceed to open it with the screwdrivers and start to remove the dust with the tools that we have told you about.
Patiently use your tools to remove dust from two fans, vents, and more. Once this is ready, you just have to look at the monitor that can be cleaned with a special screen cleaner, at the mouse that you can clean with a microfiber towel and a cotton swab until all the dirt is removed.
Finally, take your keyboard, and patiently remove all the keys from it with the help of a butter knife or a small spatula. And then with the help of a towel or brush, remove all the dirt from under the keys, not forgetting to wash the keys and dry them diligently before reassembling the keyboard.
