To clean a computer, wipe the external components down with a soft cloth that has been moistened with rubbing alcohol. Cotton swabs can be used to reach small spaces in your keyboard and mouse when you clean a computer. A vacuum may be helpful for removing dirt, dust, or hair around the computer, but vacuums generate enough static electricity that they should never be used to clean internal computer components.

To clean a computer with an LCD/flat panel display monitor, it’s very important to avoid spraying cleaning chemicals directly onto the screen. The use of paper towels should also be avoided, since the monitor is fragile and easily scratched. Simply wiping the monitor with a soft dry cloth should be sufficient to remove most traces of dirt and fingerprints. For an exceptionally dirty monitor, you can lightly moisten the cloth with rubbing alcohol.
