It\u2019s usually a slow build-up of dust in the fans, a sticky keyboard from crumbs and spilled coffee, a battery that\u2019s been left plugged in and fully charged for years, or a screen wiped one too many times with the wrong cloth. None of these problems are dramatic on their own, but together they\u2019re the reason a laptop that should last six or seven years starts feeling sluggish, hot, or fragile after two or three.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:180,&quot;335559739&quot;:180}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The good news is that real laptop maintenance takes minutes a week, not hours, and most of it comes down to a handful of habits rather than expensive tools or professional servicing.

down completely and unplug the charger. Cleaning a powered-on device \u2014 especially near the keyboard or ports \u2014 is one of the most common ways moisture causes actual internal damage rather than just a cosmetic mess.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:180,&quot;335559739&quot;:180}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For the exterior and keyboard, a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water is enough for most everyday grime. For fingerprint smudges or oily residue that water alone won\u2019t lift, a cloth lightly moistened with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution works well and is the same method most manufacturers, including Apple, officially recommend for their hardware. Never spray any liquid directly onto the laptop \u2014 always apply it to the cloth first \u2014 and avoid letting moisture pool near the hinge, ports, or the gap around the keys.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:180,&quot;335559739&quot;:180}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For the gaps between keys, a can of compressed air held at a slight angle (never straight down, and never shaken beforehand) blows out crumbs and dust effectively. If you want a deeper clean, a soft-bristled brush \u2014 even a clean, dry paintbrush \u2014 can loosen debris before a final pass with compressed air.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:180,&quot;335559739&quot;:180}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">How Can You Clean a Laptop Screen?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Laptop screens need a gentler approach than the rest of the body, since most modern displays have anti-glare or anti-reflective coatings that can be damaged by the wrong chemicals or excessive pressure.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:180,&quot;335559739&quot;:180}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Start with a completely dry, soft microfiber cloth to remove loose dust \u2014 this alone handles a surprising amount of daily grime. If smudges remain, dampen the cloth (not the screen) with plain water and wipe gently in one direction rather than scrubbing in circles. Only move to a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution for stubborn marks that water can\u2019t remove, and even then, apply it sparingly to the cloth rather than the screen itself.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:180,&quot;335559739&quot;:180}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A few materials to avoid entirely on any laptop screen: paper towels and tissues (both can scratch coated displays), household glass cleaners containing ammonia, anything with bleach or acetone, and abrasive sponges.
