As easy as it is to swoosh around the house with one multipurpose cleaner, the spray you use to clean windows and mirrors could harm your computer. "Steer clear of all-purpose cleaners with acetone or alcohol, since they can take off the screen’s protective coating," says Darren Dotson, an IT systems administrator in New York City.
Instead, use a soft microfiber cloth, such as an Endust Micro Fiber Towel, to dust off the computer and the monitor. If the computer has endured too many sticky fingers and a dry cloth just won’t cut it, then turn off the machine and monitor to wipe down the screen with a slightly damp cloth. If you’re cleaning the exterior, use a cloth moistened with a mild all-purpose cleaner, like Windex. Or try a computer-specific product, like Sara Lee Cleaning Wipes from Endust.
Leaving your machine on while spraying any liquid could cause a short and ruin any electrical component attached even one not in contact with a liquid.
