Are there chemicals that could damage the camera/screen/USB port, what are the things one should I avoid when cleaning?
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·3 days agoI pretty much use this stuff on everything. Spray it on the cloth, though, not the screen. For the ports, I just use compressed air.
minus-square6nk06@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 days agoIIRC you should be careful not to spray that for too long or it can spit some weird liquid too. Shitty brands can do that.

minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoI just do a spritz onto a tack cloth
minus-squarejeffw@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·3 days agoAny brand can do that. You need to use a dedicated electronics air blower. You can get them on Amazon for under $50

minus-squarejeffw@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 days agoI use a powered electronics cleaner that is capable of spraying dry air
minus-squaresem@piefed.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoIs that better than a can of compressed air?
minus-squarejeffw@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 days agoYup! They are designed for electronics. DataVac is the big brand but I bought a cheap AirTec model on Amazon and it worked fine. There are plenty under 50 that have good reviews that are probably fine
minus-squaresem@piefed.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 hours agoNo argument there, but out of curiosity aren’t the cans of compressed air also designed for electronics?
