Keeping your computer clean—inside and out—is essential for performance, longevity, and peace of mind. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you tackle both physical and digital clutter.

🖥️ Physical Cleaning

1. Power Down and Unplug
   Always shut down your PC and unplug it before cleaning to avoid damage or shock.
2. Gather Supplies
   Use microfiber cloths, compressed air, cotton swabs, and isopropyl alcohol (90%+). Avoid household cleaners.
3. Dust the Exterior
   Wipe down the case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Use compressed air to clean vents, ports, and fans.
4. Clean Internals (Optional)
   If comfortable, open the case and gently blow out dust from components. Hold fans still while cleaning to prevent damage.
5. Tidy Cables
   Use cable ties to organize wires and improve airflow.
