Clean notebook with compressed air spray - how it works

This guide shows you how to clean your notebook with a compressed air spray.

Cleaning the notebook: you should note this

You can get the compressed air spray from specialist retailers, although a price comparison in advance is well worth it.
Before you start cleaning your notebook, you should absolutely pull out the mains plug and, if necessary, also remove the battery.
You should also fix the fan, for example with a long match or a toothpick, before you use the compressed air spray.
Make absolutely sure that no liquid escapes from the compressed air spray during use.
In addition, you should always hold the container with the compressed air spray at a slight angle.

The compressed air spray is well suited for cleaning between and under the notebook keyboard, where dust, bread crumbs and the like accumulate.
You should also clean the notebook's ventilation shafts regularly, at the latest when your fan is permanently loud.
It also makes sense to open the notebook and then carefully remove the dust using a hairless brush or cotton swab. You can use the compressed air spray to blow through the not so easily accessible places - especially the ventilation slots.
If you do not want to open your notebook, place the hose of the compressed air spray at an angle from the outside onto the ventilation slots and cooling fins.
