Tips for cleaning your ‘smart’ devices quickly and easily

Smart devices have become an integral part of our daily lives, making things easier and life even more comfortable. To keep them in good condition for as long as possible, we need to be just as ‘smart’ ourselves. Take a look below at the wonders you can work with everyday items:

1. Lint roller
   Use a clothes lint roller to remove dust and dirt from your computer speakers. Simply roll it over the speakers and all the dust will stick to it!
2. Toothbrush
   Don't be too quick to throw away your old toothbrush. Use it (dry) to clean your mobile phone earphones without damaging them. You can also use a toothbrush to clean the buttons on your mobile or computer, as well as the SIM card slot.
3. Pencil rubber
   If you've tried cleaning electrical cables with liquids containing alcohol, you've probably noticed that alcohol makes them ‘sticky’, affecting how the device works. One clever cleaning trick comes straight from the… classroom! An ordinary rubber will safely remove all the dirt from your cables.
4. Sticky tape
   Sticky tape removes all the dust and dirt from any keyboard in a single sweep.
5. Microfibre cloth
   A special microfibre cloth, often used for cleaning surfaces, is the best choice for cleaning your screen. Unlike paper or other fabrics, it cleans without leaving lint or causing scratches.
6. Coffee filters
   Have you ever thought of cleaning your computer screen with a damp coffee filter? Believe it or not, this everyday item is ideal for cleaning, as it leaves no scratches and picks up dust brilliantly.
