    How do you clean you Mouse/Keyboard/and screen

    I use Rubbing alcohol for my mouse and keyboard. What do you guys use for your screen and peripherals.

    Re: How do you clean you Mouse/Keyboard/and screen

    I keep some isopropyl alcohol (AKA "rubbing", but be careful not to get it if it has oil in it) in a spray bottle, and use it clean my desk where my mouse goes. (I don't use a mouse pad.)

    I haven't cleaned the flat panel recently, but I'd probably just use a lint-free cloth, maybe a microfiber. (I bought a big bag of them at Costco.)

    I usually just use a wet papertowl and a safety pin for those hard to reach place on my mouse.

    Re: How do you clean you Mouse/Keyboard/and screen

    I haven't cleaned my screen in a long while. Last time it was a slightly damp microfiber cloth that I used to wipe it down.

    Otherwise, I use a can o' air to blow out any dirt underneath the keys of my keyboard, a damp cloth to wipe the keys clean and to wipe my mouse buttons clean, and then I sweep anything blown out into the trash. I remove my mouse, keyboard, mouse pad, and gel wristpad so I can wipe down the desk with soap and then a wet cloth and then a dried cloth.

    I turn the keyboard over and bang it against the keyboard rest, then swipe collected dirt/dust/etc into the trash. I do use some LCD screen cleaner and microfiber cloth for the screen though.
