Clean your computer and devices properly while working from home

Working from home is the new office! Coronavirus changed our habits, as many people now work from home. Office attire is now a thing of the past, while hours-long meetings have given way to chats.

One of the prerequisites for remote working is the right basic equipment: a good computer. To keep your computer in good condition and remove the germs that build up, you need to clean it thoroughly. Remove dust and dirt from your laptop's plastic lid with a clean cotton cloth and use a compressed air spray for the keyboard. If you don't have a spray, use a brush or a cotton bud. For cleaning a desktop computer keyboard, opt for a specialist keyboard cleaning gel that instantly removes dust and debris.

As well as your computer, you should make sure you clean your mobile phone and your other devices and gadgets. It's important to know that you shouldn't use ordinary cleaning products on your mobile phone or tablet screen, as they can damage the screen's «oleophobic» coating, which helps repel fingerprints. Use an antibacterial wipe for the case and a dry microfibre cloth or a glasses cleaning cloth to clean the screen. Don't forget to clean your headphones and USB cables with an antibacterial wipe.
