How to Clean Laptop Computer Cases

A laptop case needs cleaning on a regular basis. Dirt and debris can easily attach to the outside of the case. The dirt and debris can easily get on other parts of the laptop and cause failure to the computer. You do not want to soak the laptop case because it can make the computer useless.

How to Clean Laptop Computer Cases

Materials Needed

• Mild dishwashing liquid


• Water


• Small bucket


• Sponge


• Cloth


• Cotton swab

1. Mix 1 part mild dishwashing liquid and 5 parts water in a small bucket. Mix the liquid with a sponge to make the mixture sudsy. You want to use a mild detergent because anything harsh can ruin the case. Avoid products that contain acid or alkaline.


2. Dip a sponge into the bucket and wring the sponge until it is damp. A soaked sponge can get into the computer and cause it to fail. This can cause expensive repairs or replacement.


3. Wipe over the laptop case gently with the sponge. Avoid wiping the interior of the laptop. Skip over openings on the outside of the case.


4. Rinse the soap from the sponge with clean water. Wring the sponge and leave it damp. Wipe over the laptop case to remove as much of the soap as possible.


5. Take a cloth and dry the laptop case completely. Allow the laptop case to dry for about 30 minutes before using it.


6. For those hard to reach areas on the case, dip a cotton swab into the soap solution and clean the cracks. Do not use too much water on those parts.
