Essential Cleaning Tools

  • Microfibre cloths: These soft cloths are ideal for wiping surfaces without scratching.
  • Distilled water: Use distilled water to dampen your cloth for safe cleaning.
  • Isopropyl alcohol (70% concentration): This is safe for cleaning your MacBook's screen and body.
  • Cotton swabs or lint-free buds: For reaching those nooks and crannies.
  • Compressed air: This can be used to remove debris from your keyboard and ports (use with caution).


Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions

  1. Power Down: Shut down your MacBook and unplug all cables and accessories.
  2. Keyboard and Trackpad:
    • Use a slightly damp microfibre cloth to wipe away dirt and dust.
    • Use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean between keys gently.
    • Avoid getting moisture into any openings.
  3. Screen:
    • Dampen a microfibre cloth with distilled water and gently wipe the screen in a circular motion.
    • For stubborn spots, dampen the cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol.
    • Never spray liquid directly onto the screen.
  4. Exterior:
    • Use a damp microfibre cloth to clean the exterior.
    • Pay attention to areas around ports and hinges.
  5. Ports and Vents:
    • Use compressed air to carefully blow away debris from ports and vents.


Additional Tips:

Emphasizing the environmental benefits, such as reducing electronic waste, can also help. Companies might consider testing refurbished products internally to demonstrate their reliability, creating formal policies that support purchasing refurbished tech, and partnering with trusted refurbishment vendors to ensure device quality and warranty cover.
