De-Grease Your Laptop with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
awesome tip for cleaning your Laptop from Lifehacker De-Grease Your Laptop with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser If you're tired of shiny, greasy spots all over your laptop you can safely cut through the grease with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Here's how it works.
Earlier this week we asked you for tips on cleaning off-hand oil from your laptop's trackpad and keyboard. There were a lot of great suggestions, but one of the more popular options was using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. We decided to give this a shot.
My trackpad wasn't super oily but I've still never been able to get the grease off of it. After just a few seconds of wiping with the magic eraser, the trackpad was completely grease-free. Thank you readers! The video above shows the whole process wipe for wipe, but overall it's pretty simple:
1. Wet the magic eraser with lots of water.
2. Squeeze out the excess water.
3. Wipe your laptop's trackpad and keyboard a few times.
4. Dry off your laptop's trackpad and keyboard.
What's especially awesome is that you can reuse it. It's after the magic eraser looks like a mangled clump that you have to throw it out. According to the box, it'll keep working until it looks like your cat coughed it up.
