Don’t Let Your Electronics Get Too Dusty—A Personal Reminder

This one’s from personal experience: dust builds up fast—on your desk, inside your laptop fan, on your phone’s charging port. And while it doesn’t look like a big deal, it is.

Dust can block ventilation in laptops, cause overheating in game consoles, and even make your phone charge slowly if it clogs the port. I’ve seen more than a few devices brought back from the edge of death with nothing more than a soft cloth, a can of air, and five minutes of care.

Here’s what you can do:

• Wipe surfaces weekly – Use a microfiber cloth to gently clean screens and surfaces.

• Blow out fans and vents monthly – Especially on laptops, desktops, or gaming consoles. Compressed air works wonders.

• Check ports – Look at the charging ports of your phone or tablet. A toothpick or SIM tool can gently remove debris (just be careful!).

• Keep your space clean – A dusty room = dusty devices.

A quick wipe now can save you from a slow laptop or an overheating mess later.

Bottom line: A little routine care makes your tech last longer—and saves you headaches (and repair bills).
