It seems so ... uncontrolled. I've never really tried it myself so I can't say for sure. I'd have to look it up myself because I also have my reservations about the vacuum method.

StaceyPowers Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 @killamch89 @xXInfectedXx I always just spray in the canned air. I notice it exerts enough pressure that a lot of dust blows back out of the ventilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never recommend having a can of air enough - It makes most computer cleaning jobs more tolerable and less nerve-wracking. I'd start panicking if I never had a can of air available to clean my PC because almost anything else has the potential to ruin your machine.

May I know who the best retailer is to purchase a canned air spray? Would you recommend Amazon? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't cost you more than $15 dollars and it'll last you for probably 3-4 months probably more depending on usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A can of compressed air can't harm your PC ( the only thing I'm certain that can't damage your PC). How much do they charge to clean your PC?

Use vaccum cleaner. You can atleast get the dust out of the device. For example often the laptop have the dust which needs to be removed. So it's better to get it out by properly cleaning it every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyPowers Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 @skyfire Do you use a vacuum cleaner on yours? I'm wondering how you avoid problems with static cling. It's simply hard for me not to imagine it being an issue, but maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about (probably not). @xXInfectedXx @killamch89 i usually just pick it up at the local Fred Meyer or Walmart or such. Sometimes, they sell it in bulk, and you can get a cheap deal on it. I haven't really found any particular brand to be superior so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Yes mine is low powered one though. Not that floor cleaner level power. Mine is those handy small sized one. And those can be used with the USB port. Static cling issue is there but I turn off laptop and any other device around during cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just buy a generic brand to be honest - I'm not sure how one can of air can differ that much in quality from the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
