Dusting
Dusting your appliances and electronics is very important for a number of reasons. Allowing dust to build up on them can cause permanent damage if it builds up and can clog the fans, causing them to overheat and break down.

•  When dusting your electronics, make sure you start at the top. This sweeps the dust downwards. If you go from the bottom up, the dust may settle right back to your electronics and appliances. It's also a good idea to turn them off before you begin dusting.
•  Use the right tools. An electrostatic cloth is best, as it traps in the dust and makes it less likely to settle back on or to float around the air. Swiffer also makes a duster with disposable dusters, which also capture dust quite well. Microfiber is also good for dusting; many manufacturer's of electronics and appliances will include microfiber cloths for cleaning once you purchase.
•  Use a compressed air tank for computers and other sensitive electronics. It's difficult to get inside the little nooks of a computer keyboard and other small parts. Purchase a can of compressed air, which will blow the dust away and keep all parts of your electronics and appliances clean.

Cleaning electronics and appliances You should also be careful when cleaning your electronics and appliances. Be sure to consult the manufacturer's instruction booklet for instructions and before you use any kinds of sprays on your appliances. If you no longer have your booklet, consider the following tips: 

• For cleaning surfaces, try purchasing cleaner designed specifically for electronics. These are sold in many electronics and appliance stores. Always test an inconspicuous area before you spray all over to make sure it doesn't streak or stain.
•  Don't spray any type of cleaner right on to the surface; it could drip into the components and cause damage. Instead, spray it directly on to the cloth you are using to clean.
•  When cleaning the screens of appliances and electronics, try using an ammonia-free glass cleaner so you won't damage the screen. Rubbing alcohol will also clean the screen with no damage. Paper towels should never be used on screens, as the harder fibers can end up scratching your screen.
•  Q-tips are good for cleaning appliances and electronics, particularly in the smaller crevices or around more fragile parts of an appliance or electronic. Dip the tip of the Q-tip in rubbing alcohol for cleaning, or leave it dry to dust.

Appliances and electronics are often magnets for dust, fingerprints, and other types of build-up. But if you are not careful about the way you clean them and what type of cloths and cleaners you use, you could end up making costly damages. The above tips will help you to keep your appliance and electronics clean.
