Skipping this PC maintenance step could cost you - here's the right way to clean your system
"That's why it's so important for me to perform regular maintenance. It keeps my system running smoothly and prevents problems before they happen. Also: Finally, a Windows desktop I can confidently put away my iMac for However, let's be honest, though: most people don't bother with PC maintenance. It's easy to forget, put off, or avoid out of sheer laziness. I know this because I used to be no different."
"For the longest time, I never cleaned my computer. I let the dust bunnies populate my tower like a burrow. But over the past few years, I've made it a habit to clean every six months or so. It's well worth the effort because it keeps internal temperatures cool. Heat is the computer killer. Keeping your hardware cool extends its lifespan."
Frequent computer maintenance keeps a desktop performing well for years after purchase. Regular physical cleaning every six months removes dust that lowers internal temperatures. Lower temperatures reduce component stress and extend hardware lifespan. Software upkeep includes managing startup programs and using inexpensive or free tools to optimize performance. Before cleaning, power down and unplug the PC and work on non-carpeted surfaces to reduce static risk. Anti-static wrist straps or mats provide extra protection but are not strictly necessary. Combining physical and software maintenance prevents problems and preserves performance over time.
