Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson on how to clean your devices properly
Keeping your devices clean is much easier with these gadgets, CyberGuy explains the best ways to keep your tech clean.
Fact: Our personal technology is more filthy than any four-letter word.
There are billions of bacteria and viruses lingering on nearly every piece of technology we touch and embrace every day.
We all spend so much time worrying about keeping the house clean, brushing our teeth every day, and cleaning up after our pets. So why aren’t we worried about cleaning the tech that we use every day?
Our hands touch tons of surfaces and then touch keyboards and phones and more, so let’s learn from the extreme clean freaks conquering dirty tech to make it more sanitary.

If you’re looking for a budget option, you can order some electronic wipes from Amazon, like those from Miracle Brands. These can be used for TVs, phones, laptop screens, monitors and more. Be sure to wipe your device down at least once a day to keep the germs off. My tip is to power down your device, wipe it down entirely, and then wait for it to dry before powering it back on. At the time of publishing, this product had over 15,000 global reviews and 71% gave it 5 stars.

For AirPods & Earbuds:
You may clean out your ears with a Q-tip (even though we’re not supposed to). However, when was the last time cleaned out your earbuds? As you may have seen already, your AirPods can become quite gross.

I recommend this super affordable cleaning pen for AirPods Pro from Hagibis. It has three different ends that can be used to brush dirt away, a metal pen tip to clean out stubborn dirt and a sponge that can clean out the dust in the charging case. Plus, it costs only $8.99 on Amazon, which is worth it if it means always having wax-free earbuds. At the time of publishing, this product had over 19,000 global ratings with 71% giving it 5 stars.
