user tips:
Working in a clean
environment all the time makes your PC and your data safe.
Several minutes spent
in cleaning your work area on a weekly basis help you in keeping your
PC healthy. You
can do this on a shorter or even longer time intervals,
depending on how fast
your place of work accumulates dirt.
Begin
by dusting-off your PC's external case, your monitor, as well as your
keyboard. Then, proceed with dusting the surrounding areas where your
computer is located. You may choose, instead, to dust higher areas
first, and then proceed to the lower ones.
As a tool, you may
use a one and 1/2 inch size (or bigger) ordinary, unused, household
paintbrush in sweeping-off dirt. The bristles must
be made of natural fibers. Avoid nylon, plastics, or any synthetic
materials because these create static charge dangerous to your
PC.
Always keep your paintbrush dry. When wet, it acts like
a butter-knife spreading dust and grime to other areas. Be sure
to gather the debris on a piece of paper or a cardboard serving as a
miniature dustpan. You may then throw it later.
The exhaust
fans or blowers inside your computer will suck-in what you are trying
to remove. So, be
sure to turn-off your computer when you do this.
Sure,
you may always wait until your office maintenance personnel do
this for you. After all, isn't that's what they are paid for? But
then again, no one could say if your computer has already gobbled-in
dusts before they do. ;-) Remember, the data and the workstation you
are saving is your own. Well, sort of. Somehow, like it or not, it
is your headache too. Now you know what to do.
One final
thing. Did I fail to mention anything about maintenance costs? (More
company expense... Less profit... ...hmm) Ah, now you are
getting the entire picture! ;-)
