How to Clean Laptop Speakers


What You Need:

  • Bounty Paper Towels

  • Bottle of Rubbing Alcohol or All-Purpose Cleaner

  • Low Suction Vacuum

Instructions:

  1. Disconnect Laptop from Power Source

  2. Unhook everything on the laptop that is connected to a power source, including the laptop's battery to avoid getting shocked. Make sure your computer does not short out while you clean the laptop speakers.

  3.  Dampen Paper Towel

  4. Fold a Bounty paper towel and pour a drop of alcohol on it, about the size of a quarter. If you're using an all-purpose spray cleaner, mist a light layer of cleaner on the surface of the folded paper towel.

  5. Wipe Speaker Surface

  6. Wipe the exterior of the speaker's cover to make sure you don't knock any extra dirt in the speaker holes while you're cleaning.

  7. Wait until the speaker's covering dries completely.

  8. Capture Dirt Particles

  9. Hold the vacuum straight up above the speaker cover and turn it on. Holding the vacuum upright will help to ensure the dirt particles lift straight out of the holes.

  10. Fold another paper towel. Add a bit more alcohol or cleaner. Wipe the surface of the speaker's cover again.

  11. Allow the freshly cleaned speakers to dry completely before restoring the power to the computer

 

How to Safely Clean Smartphones and Tablets


What You Need:

  • Microfiber Cloth
  • Lukewarm Water
  • Mild Liquid Hand Soap (Optional)
  • Bounty Paper Towels

Instructions:

  1. Place your device on top of a Bounty paper towel, on a flat surface, to start your cleaning process.

  2. Wipe the Surface

  3. Wipe the exterior of your electronic device with a clean microfiber cloth. It is important to use a microfiber cloth, or something similar, so that no lint is left behind. Some other types of materials may also leave scratches on the screen.

  4. For tough stains, such as food or makeup, turn off and unplug the device. If you can, remove the battery for added safety.

  5. Apply Dampened Cloth

  6. Gently wipe down the stained area with the dampened microfiber cloth. If necessary, leave the stained section damp for a couple of minutes before wiping it down. It is important not to get the microphone or speaker too wet.

  7.  Use a dry section of the microfiber cloth to clean off your device.

  8. If a stain remains, you may want to make a soapy solution with a mild hand soap, and clean in the same method as in step 3.

  9. Wait a few minutes to be sure that the tablet or smartphone is completely dry. If you removed the battery, replace it and turn your device back on. Operate it as you usually do.
