Keeping screens, keyboards and headphones clean protects your kit and keeps it pleasant to use. The right cleaning products remove fingerprints, dust and the odd coffee splash without harming coatings or finishes, which is why it pays to pick solutions made for electronics rather than general household sprays.

For TVs, monitors and laptop displays, a screen-safe cleaner used with a soft microfibre cloth lifts smudges gently. Spray the cloth, not the screen, then wipe in straight lines and let it dry. For keyboards and vents, a little compressed air dislodges dust from between keys and case grills, followed by a light pass with a dry brush. Headphone pads and ear tips benefit from a quick wipe after workouts, while silicone tips can usually be removed and rinsed, then fully air-dried before refitting.

Inside ports and around buttons, lint can build up and impede charging or clicks. Use a wooden or plastic pick and a steady hand to tease fluff from USB-C or Lightning sockets, then finish with a dry cloth. Avoid bleach, ammonia and abrasive powders, which can strip coatings and cloud plastics. If you wear glasses or use anti-glare filters, choose a cleaner marked safe for coated surfaces, and test on a small area first if you are unsure.

Currys stocks screen sprays, microfibre cloth packs, air dusters and cleaning swabs sized for phones, cameras and laptops, so you can put together a small kit that lives in a drawer or bag. A monthly tidy makes a noticeable difference, and a quick daily wipe of high-touch items like phones and trackpads keeps them feeling fresh. Pricing varies by retailer and region.

Routine tip: power devices down and unplug before you clean, and never spray liquid directly into ports or speaker grilles.

Can I use vinegar or window spray on screens?

It is best to avoid household cleaners, as they can damage coatings; use a purpose-made screen cleaner with a microfibre cloth instead.

What should I use for keyboards?

Compressed air loosens dust, then a dry brush and a slightly damp microfibre cloth tidy surfaces; avoid soaking keycaps or letting liquid run under them.

How often should I clean my laptop?

A light wipe weekly and a deeper clean monthly keeps fans breathing freely and screens clear, especially if you work in shared or dusty spaces.

Are air dusters safe for electronics?

Yes, when used upright and in short bursts; keep cans away from heat and avoid prolonged spraying that can chill components.
