Cleaning

Post Reply New Topic

What do use to clean devices? Is rubbing alcohol good for devices & remote controls?

Yes, but used only sparingly, on a cloth or cotton bud, or something similar.

I use a toothbrush and Lysol on my remotes than wipe dry.

People clean their remote controls?

I use baby wipes to clean everything. Even though my daughter is 17, we never stopped buying baby wipes, they will clean up anything.

I killed a laptop once with a wet wipe.

I didn't even touch the keys, to the best of my knowledge, but somehow the moisture made its way to the motherboard and sang Hasta La Vista, baby.

I do microfibre cloths with a bit of cleanser spray or vinegar. Just barely enough to make it damp.

Oh for keyboards I've got a kind of cleaning putty, like this:

It's really good, it gets into all the nooks and crannies of the keys and pulls out all the dust and crumbs. And quite fun to use!

I have a clear cover for the keyboard too, like this. It stops crumbs and water going in the keyboard:

That putty looks really satisfying!

It reminds me of a toy I used to have called Slime:

That kid on the left lol

Yes that putty is brilliant, it is like the slime but it's more cohesive and sticks together so it doesn't get lost in the keyboard
