Do not clean your
computer when it is turned on. Always turn off your computer before cleaning
the keyboard, monitor, tower, and mouse. It is recommended not to use alcohol and
paper towels when cleaning your computer. Instead, you can purchase
premoistened monitor cleaning wipes. Read carefully the instructions before
using any premoistened monitor wipe for your electronics because sometimes it
leaves streaks depending on the brand.
After you are done
cleaning the outside of the computer, you can declutter what is inside the
computer. Turn on your computer and arrange your folders. Back up your
documents before deleting any folders. You can delete and label your folders
for your documents that you have on your desktop. Remember not to keep too many
folders on your desktop because it takes too much memory for the computer to function.
Delete cookies, delete
your online search history, and run an antivirus program. Check if your
computer needs to be defragmented. Keep your keyboard keys working by not
eating in front of the computer. Food crumbs create sticky keys on any keyboard
which makes it difficult to type. Below are websites for National Clean Up Your
Computer Month.
