Cleaning the computer means cleaning different parts of the computer system like :
                  1.  Cleaning the Keyboard

                       Cleaning  the  keyboard  is  an important  task  for keeping  your
                     computer  physically  fit.  Dust  and  dirt  on  the  keyboard  do  not
                     look nice and can prevent your keyboard from working properly.
                     Particles such as dust, food, liquid, etc., can get stuck underneath
                     the keys, which can prevent the keys from functioning properly.
                     Use a soft cloth to clean the keys of the keyboard.
                  2.  Cleaning the Mouse

                       Cleaning the mouse is the next step to keeping your computer physically
                     fit. There are two main types of mouse: optical and mechanical.
                       An optical mouse is an advanced computer pointing device that uses a
                     light-emitting diode (LED) and an optical sensor. This type of mouse does

                     not  require  any internal cleaning  since  there are no  rotating  parts;
                     however,  they can get  sticky  over time  as dust  collects  near  the  light
                                                                                                     Optical mouse
                     emitter. This can cause erratic cursor movement or prevent the mouse
                     from working. You must clean the surface of the mouse and the mouse
                     pad regularly to prevent dust from accumulating on the mouse.
                       Mechanical mouse uses a rubber ball that makes contact with wheels
                     inside the unit when it is rolled on a pad or desktop. This type of mouse is

                     especially susceptible to dust and particles that can accumulate inside
                     the mouse, which can make it difficult to track or move properly.If the
                     mouse pointer does not move smoothly, you will have to clean the rubber       Mechanical mouse
                     ball.
                  3.  Cleaning the Monitor

                       Cleaning the monitor is the third step to keep your computer physically fit.  Dirt, fingerprints and
                     dust can make your computer screen difficult to read; however, it is easy to clean your screen when
                     needed. But, before cleaning you should:
                        Shut down the computer.
                        Unplug the monitor from the power.

                        If you are using a laptop, shut it down.
                        Use a soft and clean cloth to wipe the screen clean.
                         Do not spray any liquid directly on the screen. The liquid can leak

                       into the monitor and damage the internal components.                     Cleaning the Monitor


                                                              Tech Fact

                     Do not use glass cleaner to clean a monitor. Many screens have anti-glare coatings that can
                                                    get damaged by glass cleaners.
