Our lives are now full of little electronic devices. We take them everywhere, they get passed around. Cell phones, MP3 players, PDAs are always with us now and they can get pretty dirty. (Before cleaning them you should check your owner’s manual to see if the manufacturer has a recommended cleaning procedure.) Start with a toothpick and ever so gently clear out all the cracks and crevices. Then get a small cup and fill it with 2 parts water, 1 part rubbing alcohol and 1 part glass cleaner. These can be very small amounts as you won’t need much. Dip a Q-tip in and then roll the tip against the side of the cup until there is very little moisture in the Q-tip, you do not want to dampen the device or get any liquid into the battery. Being very gentle, rub the lightly dampened Q-tip over the device. Do not run it over any connection points! Switch out the Q-tip as needed. Dry it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use paper towels as they can scratch the screens and surfaces.
