Cleaning a mouse is a very easy job to do though it should not take us more than 5 minutes, the reason for a lot to do it with some frequency is because with the simple fact that you are hand-in-hand, it becomes easily dirty.
What do you need?
There are many ways to clean a mouse and make it look good, but if done properly, it will look good and last longer. Therefore, the process we are going to teach you today requires the following things:
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Toilet paper
- Fabric microfiber.
- A toothpaste.
Remember that alcohol is a little expensive, but the bottle has a liter and works for us to not only clean the mouse without damaging it, but many other PC items such as the keyboard or even headphones, hot glass of the box, etc. , so we consider it a worthwhile investment.
How to clean a mouse and make it look new
In this example we will use a mouse that has been used for about six months since the last cleanup, approximately 10 hours a day. As you can see, it not only has many products but also mud and dust. Look for side buttons and steering wheel above all.
When we go downstairs, even though it's not a hand-held area it also has enough dirt, especially on the edges of the Teflon striking legs. This is because the dust is deposited in the mouse flag, as well as the sweat and arm, the dirt that eventually gets pulled around the edges of the mouse's legs and accumulates there.
Let's take a closer look to let you know better.
The first step to clean a mouse is to apply a microfibre cloth with isopropyl alcohol, and deal with it in all its competitions, including the base. This will only remove 90% dirt and concentrated dust, but reaching all corners, especially between buttons and buttons and giving a thorough overview of Teflon legs, is where the rod works and toilet paper.
Since we have very large pieces of toilet paper, we should wrap them several times but trim them well to make them smaller. Once we have done this, we drop the rod in the center.
Once we have prepared, we slowly wet the toilet paper with isopropyl alcohol.
Now, with this "gadget" we have collected, we present it to every vein and mouse entry, leaving it a "plate". Look at the difference when you're clean.
You are too close to know it better.
As you can see, the mouse was already flawless, and if we do this procedure from time to time we will make it look good even after long use. There are marks and dandruff that will seem irresistible, but if we keep it clean and tidy, things will change a lot. Like, the SteelSeries Rival 650 used in this tutorial is a year and a half in use, and is still in excellent condition due to periodic cleaning.
