Laptop properly cleaned. Screen spotless with no streaks, keyboard deep cleaned, ports and vents cleared of dust. Right products, no damage.
### Your Laptop Looks Disgusting
Working from home for two years? **Your laptop screen** is covered in finger smudges, mystery marks, and what might be coffee spatters. The keyboard is full of crumbs, dust, and things you don't want to think about.
You could spray it with kitchen cleaner and wipe with a tissue - and **ruin the screen coating**. Or you could get it properly cleaned with the right products, in the right way, so it's actually clean and not damaged.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Never use window cleaner or kitchen spray on laptop screens. The ammonia and chemicals destroy the anti-glare coating. Microfiber cloth and distilled water (or proper screen cleaner) only.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Assessment I check screen condition (any damage or just dirt), keyboard state, vent blockage. This determines cleaning approach. ### Step 2: Screen Cleaning Using proper screen cleaner and microfiber cloth, I clean screen thoroughly with circular motions. No streaks, no pressure that could damage pixels. ### Step 3: Keyboard & Ports Compressed air removes loose debris from keyboard and vents. Isopropyl alcohol for sticky keys or stubborn marks. Cotton buds clean ports carefully. Everything dried properly before finishing.

Good to Know
> 🦠 **Want it disinfected?** Isopropyl alcohol 70% kills most germs without damaging keyboards or trackpads. Good for shared laptops or after illness. Screen needs different approach (can't use alcohol on coating). **Anti-glare coating damage:** If your screen looks like it has permanent smudges or cloudy patches that won't clean off, the coating is damaged. This happens from wrong cleaning products over time. Can't be fixed, only replaced. **Sticky keys:** Usually from spilled drinks. Isopropyl alcohol can clean this but if keys actually stick mechanically, keyboard might need replacing. I'll tell you honestly if it's cleanable or broken. **Dusty environment?** If you work in a dusty room or have pets, vents clog faster. Clean them every few months with compressed air to prevent overheating. **Older laptops:** Keys can be more fragile. I'm gentle with cleaning but if keys are already worn or loose, there's a limit to how aggressively I can clean without causing damage. I'll advise if keyboard replacement is sensible.
Frequently Asked Questions about Laptop screen clean in Newton Abbot
Why would I pay someone to clean my laptop?
Because it's easy to damage screens with wrong products - kitchen spray, wet wipes, paper towels all cause problems. Plus keyboard cleaning needs proper tools to get crumbs out without damaging keys. I've got the right products and know how to clean thoroughly without breaking anything.
Can you clean the inside too (fans and dust)?
External cleaning yes (vents, ports). Opening up the laptop to clean internal fans is more involved - that's a repair job, not cleaning. If your laptop's overheating due to dust, mention it when booking and I'll advise if it needs internal cleaning.
Will you clean my keyboard properly or just wipe the surface?
Properly - I remove loose debris, clean between keys, and get the muck out. For really disgusting keyboards I might suggest compressed air and isopropyl alcohol cleaning. You'd be amazed what comes out of keyboards.
What if my screen has scratches or marks that won't come off?
Cleaning won't fix scratches or damaged coating. I'll clean what's cleanable and tell you honestly if damage is permanent. Sometimes what looks like a mark is just stubborn residue that comes off with proper products.
Can you do multiple devices at once?
Yes - if you want laptop, tablet, phone all cleaned in one visit, mention it when booking. Saves you calling me back separately. Usually takes about an hour for multiple devices.
