CLEANING

 When you're cleaning a desktop or laptop, you're essentially performing a combination of physical and digital maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Here's a breakdown of what that entails:1. Physical Cleaning: This focuses on removing dust, dirt, and debris from the computer's components, both inside and out. 

  • Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down the case, keyboard, and screen with a microfiber cloth. You can slightly dampen the cloth with water or a specialized screen cleaner for tougher marks, but avoid spraying liquids directly onto the device.
  • Interior Cleaning: For desktops, you may need to open the case to access the internal components. Use compressed air to blow out dust from fans, vents, heat sinks, and other areas. For laptops, compressed air can be used for vents and keyboard crevices.  
  • Decluttering: Uninstall unused programs and remove unnecessary files.
  • Browser Cleanup: Clear browsing history, cookies, and cache.
  • Malware Removal: Run a virus scan and consider a dedicated malware scanner to identify and remove any malicious software. 

In simpler terms, cleaning your computer involves:

  • Dusting off the outside to remove surface grime.
  • Blowing out dust and debris from inside to keep components cool and prevent overheating.
  • Removing unnecessary programs and files to free up space and improve performance.
  • Ensuring security by running antivirus scans and clearing potential hiding places for malware. 

By performing these steps, it helps your computer run more efficiently and extend its lifespan.
