Cleaning the cover of your computer:
You will need:

– two lint-free soft cloths – (Anti-static LCD cleaning cloths, Kim Wipes, and some types of lens cleaning wipes are also acceptable alternatives)
1. Apply non-ammonia based cleaner onto the lint-free soft cloth
2. Squeeze out the excess liquid from the soft cloth
3. Wipe the cover using a circular motion taking care not to let any excess liquid drip
4. Wipe the surface to remove any left-over cleaner
5. Rinse the soft cloth with clean running water and squeeze out any excess liquid
6. Wipe the cover with the rinsed soft cloth
7. Wipe the surface again with a dry, soft cloth
8. Wait for the surface to dry completely and then remove any fibers left from the cloth
Cleaning your computer keyboard:

Note: You can use compressed air from a compressed air can to remove any crumbs and dust from beneath the keys. Do NOT use an air compressor.
Cleaning your computer LCD display:
You will need:
– a dry lint-free soft cloth
– a dampened lint-free soft cloth (if needed)
