Keep it clean

Electronics have a love-hate relationship with dust. They attract the minuscule particles but their presence causes problems, some of which lead to costly repairs and replacements. Here are a few things to keep in mind when cleaning your high-tech gadgets:

• It may be worth looking at the owner’s manual if you still have it. Some electronics don’t get along with conventional cleaning agents or methods.
• A can of compressed air works well to get dust and dirt out of many hard-to-reach areas.
• Wet cleaning agents should be kept away from electronic components.
• For some items, opening the case may void your warranty. It’s best to check first.
• Paper towels and tissues could scratch lenses, monitors, and other glass surfaces.
• Don’t spray cleaning fluids onto monitors, lenses, etc. Instead, spray them onto a cleaning cloth, then wipe the surface.
