Final clean up of the equipment

When cleaning the equipment you must ensure you clean the software and hardware. I will discuss below how to do this.

Cleaning the software can be an easy task, there are a range of utilities on your computer for you to do this and others you must download.

Such as:

  • Disk Cleanup - This tool can be found on your computer, its functions is evaluating the data you have on your system and suggesting data you can delete to save space.
  • Disk Defrag - This tool gathers all the scattered data on your hardrive closer together to enable files to load quicker etc.
  • Disk Compression - This utility compresses data into a smaller size saving space.
To clean the hardware of your computer the best method is the use of compressed air, this can be used to clean the wiring, circuits etc. There is no moisture so it will not damage your equipment, I will include an example of this in use below.
