How to properly care for Mac, iPad and iPhone?

Apple makes its devices from very durable materials. But even the company’s gadgets require careful handling and proper care. The recommendations of our experts will help you avoid a visit to the service center and extend the life of the Mac, iPad and iPhone.

What do you need to know before cleaning Apple appliances?

It is recommended to use only a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and the case. Hard fleecy fabrics and towels, including paper ones, are not suitable for these purposes. Wipes with 70% ethyl alcohol solution or special disinfectant wipes, such as Clorox, are best suited for cleaning the display, keyboard and other surfaces.

Sprayable aerosols, solvents, detergents, as well as those containing bleach, acetone or hydrogen peroxide, are extremely dangerous to use! Even textile and leather surfaces of covers and other accessories, not to mention appliances, should not be wiped with disinfectant solutions.

Also, avoid moisture entering the openings of the device. However, if the liquid does get inside your device, we recommend that you do not hesitate and contact an authorized Apple service center in Uzbekistan.

How to clean the screen of Mac, iPad and iPhone?

Before performing any actions with Apple devices, turn it off and disconnect it from the power adapter. All peripherals should also be disconnected, and cases and other accessories should be removed.

Lightly moisten the cloth with water or a special cleaning agent. Do not spray the product on the screen itself, otherwise the liquid may leak inside the display and cause damage.

Use a soft, lint-free cloth. Microfiber cloths are an ideal option. You need to wipe the screen very carefully, pressing should be minimal so as not to damage it.

If too much dust has accumulated on the screen, do not try to wipe it immediately. First, blow off or brush off the dust with a special broom to avoid the formation of small scratches.

By the way, the displays of modern devices have an oleophobic coating that is resistant to fingerprints. It wears off over time, and this is a natural result of using the device. But in case of improper care, the coating will wear off much faster.

How do I clean the case of an Apple device?

By and large, the same recommendations apply to cleaning the case of a MacBook, iPad or iPhone as for the screen: soft cloth, low humidity, moderate pressure on the device. Using a special tool to remove dirt from the case will not be difficult at all.

A serious enemy for technology, particularly for Macs, is dust. It is constantly flying in the air, and only regular cleaning helps to reduce its number. But it does not completely get rid of dust either. Its particles inevitably penetrate inside the MacBook case and settle on the parts. This worsens the heat transfer: the computer starts to overheat, make noise and work slower. In particularly advanced cases, some components may fail. For example, the video chip is sensitive to overheating.

To prevent breakage, do a preventive maintenance of the Mac cooling system at least once a year. It is extremely difficult to do this on your own: you need professional tools and knowledge of the design features. One wrong action and you can easily damage the cable connecting the keyboard to the board.

On your own, you can remove dust and crumbs that get into the keyboard mechanism. This is a common problem for those who snack on the computer. Wipe the buttons with a dry cloth or a soft brush. To blow through the keyboard, use a can of compressed air. A vacuum cleaner, a cold-blown hair dryer, or a syringe are suitable from improvised means.
