Q-tips moistened with the electronics cleaner can be used to target problem areas. If the keyboard is very dirty you may need to repeat this more than once. Use a dry section of the microfiber cloth and go over the keyboard again in a quick, gentle back-and-forth motion. If there are any droplets of cleaner, immediately dry them up. Again, there should only be a very light film of cleaner on the surface of the keys. Spray a different section of the thick microfiber cloth if needed and go over the keyboard in a gentle and quick back-and-forth motion. The keyboard often retains food particles and oils from our fingers, so this why the screen should be cleaned first if using the same microfiber cloth. Once the screen is clean you can move on to the keyboard.To finish cleaning the screen, use the ultra-fine microfiber cloth (black cloth in above photo) to remove any small fibers and give a final buff.

Angle the display in the lighting to see if any smudges remain. If the screen is very dirty you may need to repeat this process additional times. Once done use a dry corner of the cloth to buff out any grease and grime that has built up. If you seen any droplets rolling down, immediately wipe them up with the cloth. There should not be any beads of liquid dripping down the screen, only a light residue from the cleaner. Use the lightly damp microfiber cloth and go over the surface of the screen gently and quickly. Apply the solution from the microfiber cloth only. The cloth should feel like the dampness of a hand towel after youвЂ™ve dried your hands. You donвЂ™t want to drench the cloth, only make it damp enough that you can lightly feel the cleaner with you fingers when you touch it. Make sure to remove any tags on the microfiber cloth that may scratch the surface of the screen. Once the display and keyboard are dusted, lightly spray one corner of a new or very clean thick microfiber cloth (yellow cloth in above photo) with an electronics cleaner solution.By dusting first you ensure you arenвЂ™t rubbing dirt into the display and keyboard when you move on to the next step. Make sure to hold the compressed air canister an appropriate distance away (6-8вЂі) from the components when dusting and move quickly in a back-and-forth motion. Also blow out any dust, pet hair or other particles from the keyboard. Use a can of compressed air to blow off any dust or other particles on the display.Shut the laptop down and move to a well-lit area.

Q-tips (optional for extra dirty keyboards).

2 clean or new microfiber cloths (one thick, one thin/ultra-fine).

Can of compressed air or compressed air blower.

Many customers have contacted me after their laptop was damaged during a failed cleaning attempt. No one wants to deal with a dirty laptop, but itвЂ™s also not worth risking damage to the laptop just to clean it. It would be nice to clean it, but whatвЂ™s a safe way? Should I use paper towels? Is water okay? What about Windex? Will I damage the screen if I rub it? How do I clean the keyboard? Many people have these questions and are justifiably concerned. The screen becomes greasy, smudged and spotted with small drops of liquid. And with all that use your Mac laptop is bound to get dirty. You carry it around in a backpack or messenger bag and use it outdoors or at coffee shops. You use it reading the headlines while enjoying your morning coffee. Sometimes you use it while grabbing a quick bite.

If youвЂ™re like me, you use your Mac laptop every day.
