Removing various dirt from the Mac is a fundamental task for maintaining it as well as for its proper operation. I’m not talking about what can be the cache files, history, residues of previously installed apps, or the like, but the dirt that builds on the body, on the screen, and on various parts of the computer with the passage of time and exposure in places not properly “salutary.”.

This article provides detailed instructions on cleaning Macbooks, iMacs, Mac Pros, and Minis, as well as various peripherals. The cleaning process is simple and accessible, requiring only a soft cloth and water. The required equipment is not necessary for success, making it a convenient and effective clean the macbook solution.

The speaker advises putting aside chatter and entering the question live, ensuring time is saved. They suggest placing an Apple-branded computer securely and following the instructions, resulting in a shiny Mac.

Ultimate checklist to Needed Stuff

Needed Stuff to cleaen the mac

Regardless of whether you own a MacBook or an iMac, a Mac Pro, or even a Mac mini, to clean your Apple computer from dust and dirt, so you have to get the “equipment” you need to do it. All you need is a microfiber cloth  (like what is generally used to clean the eyeglass lenses), preferably anti-static, and do not leave lenses here and there. If you do not already have it at home, you can find it without any special problems and at low prices at any supermarket.

Alternatively, you can use a  deodorant cloth  or a  suede skin cloth , both of which are very soft and revealing and suitable for the purpose. What I do not recommend doing is using spray detergents, solvents, abrasives or detergents containing hydrogen peroxide that could irreparably damage your Mac.

At best, if the accumulated dirt is too much and it does not come immediately, you can use a little water to moisten your cloth or, as far as the screen is concerned, you can use a specific detergent for screens and displays  that do not contain acetone, which you can find in all the most common electronics stores or even online, such as Amazon, and you have to use it without spraying directly on the affected part but always going to slightly moisten the cloth before serving it.

Clean your MacBook (all models) Safely

Once you get all the material you need to clean your Mac, you can finally go to the action, right. If the one you own is a MacBook , the first step you need to take is to completely shut down the computer (not just stop it!) And disconnect it from the power supply. Also, be sure to remove any peripherals and accessories (mouse, keyboard, dock, etc.) attached to the device, as well as the protective housing of the same (if used).

Now, take the cloth in the above-mentioned microfibre (or, depending on what you own, the cloth in leather deodorant or suede leather) and pass it over the outside (upper and lower body, side parts, keyboard, Touch Bar and Touch ID) of your computer by circular movements without giving too much energy. If dirt persists, moisten the cloth with a little water, squeeze it well and pass it on the wet surfaces, always with great delicacy.

As far as the display is concerned, cleaning should be carried out in the same way as previously seen for other parts of the computer. So you have to clean it always by using the cloth and always doing delicate and circular movements and above all, without making too much pressure. If the dirt persists, you can moisten the cloth with water and gently pass it on the screen.

If you want to PC clean up and set up, use a damp cloth or a special cleaning cloth, and dry it on a flat surface. Avoid using unlikely methods or dubious practices, and ensure to use a clean and fresh MacBook. For more information, consult the Apple website or YouTube.

Clean the iMac, Mac Pro, and Mac mini

Clean the iMac, Mac Pro, and Mac mini

Do you have an iMac, a Mac Pro or a Mac Mini, and you do not know how to clean the Macbook? Then follow my instructions, and you will see that, in a mood, you will be able to get it back and forth like a pro! So to start, turn off the Mac, unplug the power cord and other connected devices and accessories (eg mouse, keyboard, external hard drive, etc.).

Next, take the microfiber cloth, the one in deodorized leather or suede leather (depending on what you own), to clean the outside of the computer with delicate and circular movements. If despite this you see that dirt persists, moisten the cloth with water and pass it on the surface of the Mac again, however, avoiding moisture penetrating the openings.

You have to follow the same procedure for the screen Serve the cloth by always performing delicate and circular movements on the display, as well as avoiding excessive pressure. Even then, if dirt sticks away, you can dampen the cloth with water and pass it on the surface of the screen, or you can still use a display cleaner (as mentioned at the beginning of the article) by taking care and spraying it first on the cloth and not directly on the Mac.

After cleaning, use a clean, dry cloth to dry all parts of the Mac, storing it in a clean area. For more information, refer to the Apple website’s dedicated cleaning page or YouTube for Apple home desktop cleaning videos.

Clean the Mac’s peripherals

Clean the Mac's peripherals

To clean Mac devices like keyboards, mice, and trackpads, turn off the device, remove batteries, disconnect it from the computer, clean the outside with a microfiber cloth, and slightly moisten with water, avoiding moisture penetration.

If the Magic Mouse or Magic Mouse 2 doesn’t work, it’s likely due to hair or residue on the sensor lens. To fix, tap the mouse, control the sensor window with intense light, and gently wipe the window with compressed air.

After finishing, take a clean, dry cloth or use the non-damp side of the one you are using and then put it back on the peripheral to dry it, then let it stand for a few minutes.

In the same case, for further details, you can keep up with the information on the device cleaning page attached to the support section of Apple’s website. You can then take a look at YouTube, where there is a lot of Apple Keyboard, Mouse, and Trackpad movie footage available, although it’s a good idea to get stuck or, in any case, dubious solutions that could make the peripherals virtually unusable.
