Put all the keys in the plastic pocket and add a bit of washing powder and shake it. Clean keys for a few minutes and put on the towel for drying with the hair dryer.

For those whose keys cannot be taken off, it is enough to wipe them with duster or special napkins. Never add water straight to the keyboard. But computer mouse can be cleaned by everything, just do not overdo with water.

3. The base unit

If inside the base unit you can see a lot of dust, vents become more noisy and computer gets overheated because of bad cooling while doing a big tasks and can even stop working. Before You start cleaning, check again did you plug off the computer. Take off all the cables, unbolt and take off the side covers. Take any kind of brush and remove the dust and vacuum out the biggest rags of dust.
