Suggested Maintenance for Your Gadgets
To make sure that your gadgets will last longer, it is important that you take daily steps to maintain them. Here are some tips to follow:
Clean the computer keyboards
The keyboards of your laptop could be harboring dust particles and food crumbs. To begin, unplug the laptop and remove any connections attached. Then, tilt the laptop upside down and gently tap it to encourage particles to fall down. You can also use a compressed air canister to remove hard-to-reach areas. You can purchase the air canister at any office supply stores, computer and hardware stores. Ensure that the spray is 1 inch apart from the keyboard.
On the other hand, if you are using external keyboards, the first thing to do is unplug them and remove their connection from the USB port. Then tilt it upside down to remove debris. You can also use an air canister spray to remove the debris.
Most importantly, remember that you should not mix water and your devices when cleaning. This is to ensure that you will not damage your gadgets.
Clean the smartphones
For hygienic purposes, you are encouraged to clean your phones regularly. Use a lint-free cloth to wipe the phone’s body and screen. Do not use harsh chemicals that can damage your equipment.
Protect the equipment from scratch and dents
Your laptop and smartphones are always travelling with you, making them prone to getting scratches and dents. Protect your devices early on by putting protective covers early on. You can get laptop skins for your laptops, and this will prevent the surface from any accidental scratches.
Meanwhile, you can get a screen protector to shield your device from dents and scratches as well. You should also add a sturdy cell phone case to protect your phone’s body.
