    Take a bucket. Fill with hot water. Put a laptop in it. Leave for 3-5 hours. Buy a new laptop. Easy. Done.

    Alcohol on the keyboard sometimes takes off the printed letters off the keys

    If you use the right laptop cleaner, you will not get a Computer Virus!
    Well, that is what the CDC says as well as WHO!

    Do not use a can of air duster or blower on the keyboard, port or especially the vent fans, because it will force particles deeper in to the laptop/computer. Older or dirtier models will collect some larger clumps of dust around the vent ports and pushing them further inside will affect the fans, prevent airflow or cover components that need airflow for cooling. Vacuum the offending crud, otherwise a good tutorial.

      Matthew Hang if your laptop is that dirty compressed air is not something I would worry about, you’d need to disassemble the laptop and clean it properly.

    Can you do one for cleaning your phone?

  16. Ian R.

    May 8, 2020 at 6:36 pm

    Also anyone have any alternatives if you dont have compressed air or a blower?

    • Chris Parker

      May 8, 2020 at 6:52 pm

      A vacuum should also do the trick.

    • Ian R.

      @Chris Parker Thanks

    Have you seen a drama clip about washing laptop on sink with soap and drying it on hanger ? Thats fun

    The alcohol on the keys can erase the labels over time. Speaking from experience. Also be careful when using hand sanitizer for the same reason. Wait until it evaporates from your hands.

  24. badbeatking80

    May 8, 2020 at 11:00 pm

    I just use alcohol for the Sha bang. Got to watch out for compressed air blowing too close. Can damage components

  25. Johnny Darko

    May 8, 2020 at 11:21 pm

    Vacuum the vents and ports. Never blow. You send particles deeper in.
