I have lost count for mine. Cleaning computer is something not aware by most users, some may be aware but just did not start working on it. I used to clean my keyboard, every few months or so but not other of my computer parts and accessories. If you ask why clean computer, because the dude similar to the one below is all over your place now.

The dude looks cute, but definitely not cool to keep as pet. Something you might be interested:

71% of office workers believe their dirty workspace is making them ill and ‘hot desking’ is a major culprit for spreading bugs throughout the office. What’s more, 80% admitted that they share their workstations, including computer and phone with at least one other colleague, spreading germs further.

For cleaning keyboard, I remove all the keys of my keyboard using a screwdriver. They are then washed in water. You would see a lot of junks like potato chips, biscuits, hairs, or anything that you can think of on your key-less keyboard. First use your vacuum so suck up as many junks as possible. Then cover your screwdriver with a wet cloth, start cleaning up the keyboard. When you are down, dry up everything including the keys and stuck them back all in. It looks much cooler.

Other accessories are much simple, just while them and it will be fine. At least better than not wiping at all. I noticed that cables are one of those that collected the most dust all time. You might want to take a look at it too. The steps are pretty simple and I’m sure every single computer user can do it, I did not mention anything like a special cloth or spray — so it is really easy. All tools needed can be found in your house.

There is this thing called Computer Cleaning Week on the 17 to 22 of September. You might want to announce in your office so that everyone would clean their computer.
