We spend so much time with our electronic devices
and it’s the most overlooked in the cleaning process.
So today I’m going to show you how to clean
and disinfect some of the electronic devices
So keep on watching!
Here are some the basic tools that you will need for this project
A Microfiber cloth
It’s the finest of all fibers making cleaning small areas,
even areas invisible to the human eye possible.
Rubbing Alcohol also known as Surgical Spirit
Some Cotton Pads
A Cleaning Brush
Some Q-tips
And some Toothpicks
How often do we clean our cell phones?
Let's face it, it’s literally covered with bacteria
from fingerprints, sweat, and even makeup residue which is hard to see.
Although wiping down your device with the edge of your shirt
or smudging the screen with your fingers
may certainly seem to tidy up your display
but, there are far better methods
to thoroughly clean your device.
So here's how to clean your cell phone
To clean your display, turn off your screen
as this allows you to see the dirt better.
Using a toothpick lightly clean around the edges your phone,
that’s where most of the dirt is filled.
Then just go ahead and wipe out the dirt with a cloth
Fill a spray bottle with water and just add about 2- 3 drops of rubbing alcohol
Shake it well once you are done
So just lightly spray the solution on a microfiber cloth
and gently wipe all over your entire phone
Germs don’t just bread on phone
but also on the phone cover
so make sure to clean that as well.
Do this once a week,
but for daily cleaning, you can just use a dry microfiber cloth
The same method applies for laptop & computer screens as well.
Next up is the keyboard
the most neglected electronic device.
Dust, dirt, fingerprints and even spilt food particles
provide a home for bacteria to thrive on your keyboard.
I'm going to show you 3 ways to get rid of tiny crumbs and dirt out of keyboard.
The 1st one is using a cleaning slime.
I got this one from Amazon
You need to press a glob of slime against the keyboard
and dab wherever you are trying to clean.
Because of its sticky properties it will easily pick up dust, lint or any tiny crumbs.
The other way is using a mini vacuum, which I also got from Amazon
Just plug it straight into USB port without requiring any external power source.
Press the Power button to increase the suction power,
for vacuuming heavier dirt and dust.
If you don’t wish to invest in any of the above
then just turn the keyboard upside down
and gently tap on the back side to remove the dust.
Next use a soft brush, for gently getting into tiny crevices.
Use a cotton pad dipped in rubbing alcohol
to go over the surface of the keys to remove
the dirt over it.
Give it a good wipe and you will see that the keys look clean and shiny
Then use a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol
and clean in between and around the keys.
You will instantly see the difference
You probably use your earphones all day, listening to your favorite tunes,
but did you know how gross they can get
after they’ve been in and out of your ears, and
in and out of your bag,
picking up dirt, bacteria and ear wax along the way.
So here’s a quick way to clean them up.
Take a toothpick and start by cleaning the wax out of the earbud
Once that’s done, if you still see a waxy buildup,
dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol,
tap it off
and then wipe the bud to remove anything remaining.
Go ahead and wipe the outer area of the earbuds
with the alcohol-dipped cotton pad
Also don't forget to clean the wire of the earphone as well
Be sure to clean your earphones atleast once in 2 weeks
Keeping your electronics clean will not only extends the life of your devices
but also improves their overall performance.
So do keep these tips in mind
Until next time stay tuned and stay Glamrs.
