Cleaning Steps - Desktop Tower

1. Turn the computer off (full shut down)
2. Unplug the power cord and any other ports that are connected. Take note of these connectors and where they go. If you are unsure, take pictures with your phone or camera.
3. Use an Air Duster (blaster) to blast away any loose dust around ports and outside of the case. Blow out any fans that are accessible from the outside. The best way to clean is from inside going out. But if you are not comfortable with opening your computer, we don’t recommend it.
4. Use a vacuum to clean up the floor and around the computer. DO NOT USE A VACUUM inside the computer. Vacuums can cause static electricity.
5. If your computer is located on the floor, we recommend bringing the computer up on the desk to prevent more dust from accumulating, in the future. Or put the computer at least 6 inches off the ground on a pedestal. So the fans do not suck in all the dust from the floor.
6. Use an Air Duster (blaster) to clean out fans, and anti-static brushes to clean fan grills. Anti-static brushes can also be used to clean ports. If you do clean with the blaster or static brushes be gentle. Air Duster should be further back from the ports to prevent damage.
7. Vacuum up loose dust around the working area.
8. Use a microfiber cloth with Isopropyl Alcohol on it to clean the outside of the case. Never spray directly on any components.
9. Wait 15 minutes before connecting and using.
