An easy way to clean a computers base unit is to use foam cleaner; just make sure you apply it to the cloth and not directly to the computer as the sprays do have a tendency to go everywhere. Make sure you always use a clean cloth; dirty cloths will smear dirty marks making them harder to remove. I always use a good kitchen towel as its cheap and disposable, but some may find this tears too easily. Cleaning the Keyboard We have a complete article on keyboard cleaning here. Cleaning inside the Computer
Should we clean inside a computer? Certainly not for cosmetic reasons, but a computer by design actually sucks air through its case helping to keep it cool, but this does also have a negative side in terms of what gets sucked in too, this includes dirt and dust which can impair this airflow clogging up cooling vents which can attribute heavily to a computer overheating. Any computer that has been used for more than a few years is bound to have a build up of dirt and dust. Always make sure you are earthed when working with computer components to prevent ESD or Static damage to them. We always clean out our computers every so often, for desktops we remove the power cable then remove the case cover, then using a small paintbrush agitating any dirt and fluff and hoover away this as we go along, this way there is no need for the hoover to ever touch any part of the computer. Always make sure the hoover has a plastic attachment. When cleaning laptops we never open the case to simply clean them, using a hoover and a small paint brush agitate any dirt or dust around the laptops vents removing it as we go so it does not drop into the laptop.
