More often than not cleaning your MacBook feels like a chore. But if you've spilled a cup of coffee over the keyboard or had some grimy fingers on the screen, keeping your MacBook clean is a must. While MacBook cleaning is critical, having a case to protect it is even more important. That's why we love our line of MacBook cases designed to keep your computer clean for years to come.
Macbook Cleaning Tip: How to Clean Your MacBook: First Steps
To start your thorough Macbook Cleaning, gather your cleaning products.This should include:
- Lint-free soft cloths
- Air-duster
- A soft brush
- Water
- LCD wipes
- Q-tips
Once you have these items together, remove your MacBook from its protective Cartella for MacBook Air 13'' or Valet Luxury Sleeve for MacBook 13''. We love both of these for the protection they offer MacBooks, keeping dirt and grime away from the main frame.
Power down your MacBook completely and detach it from any power sources. If any liquid seeps in while cleaning, it can cause havoc with your hard drive and void your warranty.

If you find dust, use an air duster to help clear it away with ease. Spray the air duster over the MacBook keys and make a few pass over it if your keyboard hasn't been cleaned in a while.
If any sticky residue or grime seems to be stuck on the keyboard, use a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol on the keyboard keycaps. You can also dip the q-tip in a little water and wipe down the exterior. When cleaning your keyboard, be careful to not let any liquid seep in. If this happens, you can follow these helpful steps.
