House Tools You Can Use To Clean
Your Computer
by Harry Arbasa
Personal Computers are very disgusting, dust-prone and -infested place.
They start gulping dust the moment you turn them on.
Dusts particles may not pose a threat, but when you have dust that is
trapped, they turn into creepy-looking cobwebs that make your computer
look old, feel old, and act old. Dusts, cobwebs and everything else in
between, are proven to affect your computer's performance in a major
way.
Dust is like termites that slowly, strategically, and effectively
deprives your computer from one of the most important element that it
needs; fresh air. You see, computers need ventilation to keep their
internal hardware from overheating.
When your hard drive burns out due to overheating, your chances of
retrieving important data are slim. You'll either retrieve some small
amount of data or, more likely, retrieve nothing at all. Either way,
you're going to be spending a few hard-earned bucks for a new hard disk.
The good news is this doesn't have to happen. With a consistent
cleaning, all of this can be prevented easily. The tools you will need
to prevent such catastrophic situations are probably just sitting around
your house waiting to be called upon to help.
Meet your long, lost, and unused friends.
1. Paint Brush. You can use a good quality paint brush to dust off those
2-year-old cobwebs on your PC. This is perhaps the most economical and
readily available replacement for those hundred-dollarl air-blowers.
Just make sure that the paint brush is clean-meaning it's free from
paint residues, maintaining its soft, hairy structure.
Directions: So easy to use. Just gently brush off the cobwebs and dusts.
2. Eraser. A simple pencil eraser can help clean your PC's Random Access
Memory (RAM). The best time to use this is after you turn on your
computer, and you don't hear a single, short beep, and your monitor
doesn't display anything. That usually means your motherboard did not
detect any RAMs installed. No need to fret when you encounter this
problem because more often than not, it's just caused by dust and your
eraser can easily take care of this situation. Believe me, it works!
Directions: Remove your RAM from your PC. Gently brush the sides of your
RAM's teeth (they are gold in color and are row-arranged like your
teeth). This should take care of any memory problem.
But remember, an eraser can only do so much. There will come a time when
your eraser has already done too much erasing, and then you need to
replace your memory.
3. Hair Dryer. This will never replace a paint brush in wiping off
dusts, but your hand-held hair dryer will come in handy when you're
trying to remove dust that is trapped inside those teensy-weensy
openings that only air can go in and out of it.
Directions: Just aim the blower at the teensy-weensy hole and let it
blast out the dust.
So there you have it. Common house tools can clean and save your PC...
and your money!
