Clean your gadgets this spring

I read from Yahoo Tech tips in cleaning our gadgets such as laptops, iPhones, DVD/CD and other gadgets this spring.

Here are the 3 tips from Yahoo Tech:

Blast it out
We have to clear our gadgets from the nasty dust. This tip reminds me of my lappy. I'm irritated at times because dust clings to the lappy so fast. After few weeks of cleaning, the nasty dust is back again,:( "Get a can of compressed air and blow out all the dust bunnies, paying special attention to any fans in the case. Use quick, short bursts to avoid condensation. Cleaning your laptop is especially important, as laptops have far less room for airflow and can overheat if they aren't kept free from dust. Use the compressed air's straw attachment to blow out the laptop's vents. Use it on your keyboard as well, to keep crumb buildup to a minimum", says Yahoo Tech.

Shine it up
Shine the screen of your laptop, TV, camera, cellphones and other gadgets. This is really one of my headache when it comes to the screen of my lappy. It's difficult to shine it up, especially with all the fingerprints and I observed that it's already difficult to remove, especially if it has been there for a long time. I seldom touch the screen of my lappy, but I guess the fingerprints accumulated were still from Denmark coz the child of my hostfamily used to play with my lappy. Yahoo Tech recommends Purosol, which they've recommended already in the past for cleaning off LCD screens, but any store-bought LCD screen cleaner should work, as long as it's alcohol-free.


Repair your media
Scratched CDs and DVDs can be mended. A variety of solutions are available on the market, but the cleaning-paste-and-towel method has always provided the best results.
Clean the surface of your CD with dish detergent and water. If scratches remain, use a commercial scratch repair kit that includes a thick paste that you rub into the media, and a microfiber cloth to wipe it clean, says Yahoo Tech.
