We all love buying or getting new electronic devices, but unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do to keep them as spotless and fancy as the day you got them. There are, however, things that you can do to keep them functioning better for longer. Without even knowing it, you do things every day to your electronic gadgets that put them at risk of breaking down sooner. Don’t despair – we all do those things, but we’re here to help! Take a quick peek and see if you’re guilty of any of these offenses; if you let go of these bad habits, you might be able to prolong the life of your beloved electronic gadgets.
#1: Dust Buildup
You’ve probably noticed that dust tends to gather on your electronics. Even if it’s a gadget you use regularly, you’ll still find some dust here and there—it’s inevitable. It’s not just the top of the device, either. Somehow, dust settles on your screens, keyboards, and even in jacks and charging ports.
You can clean most of these areas with a soft microfiber cloth, gently wiping the fabric to remove the dust. A small soft bristle brush may be the perfect tool to clear out the dust from tight spaces. If there are any difficult-to-remove spots in corners, find a small, sharp object to pick that debris away very gently.
