Let's check out some strange but useful ways to look after your computer and laptop. 


1. Try Cleaning Putty Power 

Dirt can be hidden in small spots on your keyboard and ports, which can slow things down. Cleaning putty is a squishy, gummy stuff that's great for picking up dirt in those hard-to-reach places. Press it gently onto your keyboard and ports to get rid of dust without leaving any marks. 

  

2. Lift Your Device 

Computers can get hot, and that's bad for them. To fix that, you can get a stand or pad to put your laptop on. Lifting it helps the air move better, so it doesn't get too hot, especially when you're using it a lot. 

  

3. Use Silica Gel Packs for Dampness 

Moisture can hurt your electronics, but those little packs you find in shoeboxes can help. Put a few of them close to your laptop or computer to stop too much moisture from causing damage. 

  

4. Get Magic Microfiber Cloths 

Microfiber cloths aren't just for wiping screens. They can clean your laptop well! Make the cloth a bit wet (or use some alcohol for tough spots) and gently clean your laptop. Don't forget the edges and hinges where dirt likes to hide. 

  

5. Give Your Tech a Break 

Just like people, computers need breaks too. Turn off or restart your computer regularly to give it a break. This helps it work better, update its software, and stop memory problems. 

  

6. Sort Out Your Software 

Clean up your digital space! Delete apps you don’t use, organize your files neatly, and clear out junk files. This helps your device run faster and gives you more space to save things. 

  

7. Cover Your Keyboard 

If you snack while using your laptop, a keyboard cover can help. These thin covers stop crumbs and spills from getting into your keyboard and keep it clean. 

  

8. Air Power for Deep Cleaning 

For a really good clean, use a can of air or an electronic blower. Blow air on your keyboard, ports, and fans to get rid of stubborn dirt and stop hardware problems caused by dust. 

  

9. Geeks Out! 

Taking care of your computer and laptop can be fun and different. These unusual but useful ways can help your device last longer and work better. Remember, being a little creative while doing regular check-ups can keep your tech as a great buddy for a long time. 


Working on the fixes alone is somehow terrible when you don't have the experience, sometimes a Computer or Laptop repair company could help you.
