Yarik Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 How often do you clean the dust from your personal computer - desktop/laptop? I try to clean it every 3 months or somewhat near to that period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I never clean my PC tbh. Maybe I should. I didn't realise it was a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very important to do it. All the dust in it can make the components run hotter which can lead to damage to the system or under-perform.

o-o Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's been 2 years, and I didn't cleaned it quite yet. I'm so lazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katri Marcell Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I usually do this twice a year. Not anything too extreme though. I just suck the dust and clean fans with a toothbrush. Any suggestions on what other thing I should do? Or an easier way to suck out the dry other than reverse use the blow dryer on cold? 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-o Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Just cleaned it now. Let's see in how many years i will do it again haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I use canned air on it a couple times a month. It being a laptop I try to keep it dust free as often as possible. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander. Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Same here, every couple of months. They soon get dusty and dirty which could have a serious impact on the system. Wiping the screen is essential, I use specialized cleaning equipment known as screen wipes to clean the screen part of my Laptop. I have a portable hover to suck all the dust, dirt and dog hairs out of my keyboard. Dog hairs are the worst. I don't remove the keys and I don't advise doing so only if you know how to put them back on safely and securely. Finally, I'll use a damp cleaning cloth and wipe down the surface of the Keys, Keypad, and the laptop to remove and grease or dirt. Repeat in a months time!

Shortie861 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I definitely don't clean my PC out as much as I should do if I am honest but when I do remember I tend to do it straight away. I used to aim for once every couple of months but I get so busy it's something that slips my mind. With mine being on a shelf under my desk it is crazy how much dust it may collect and would really benefit the clean out. The amount of times I have had issues where someone has said to me "have you tried cleaning it out" when I have had an issue with my PC and each time I tell them no and they give me a look is ridiculous. I really should set myself a reminder message for once every few months to let me know, it would help the life of my PC greatly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) I have never cleaned the insides of my latest computers, a eMachines and HP. I should do that. It's just laziness really. However, it hasn't really made a difference in performance, though the 7 years of owning the eMachines did lead to moderate dust buildup.

Jerlene Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Being a bit of a neat freak I'll wipe it off once a week or so. It's super dusty where I live. Dirt collects too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Farrell Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I generally clean every 2-3 months, along with cleaning my desk that have it on. Helps keep everything nice and fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
