To effectively clean your Pixelbook, you can use a few simple methods, as outlined below. The key is to be gentle and avoid harsh chemicals.
General Cleaning Steps
Here's how to keep your Pixelbook looking its best:
- Use a Soft, Dry Cloth: For regular cleaning, a microfiber cloth is your best friend. Gently wipe the screen, keyboard, and exterior surfaces to remove fingerprints, dust, and smudges.
- Damp Cloth (If Needed): If a dry cloth isn't sufficient, you can slightly dampen a clean, soft cloth with water. Be sure to wring it out well so it's not dripping. Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid getting any moisture into openings.
Disinfecting Your Pixelbook
For sanitization, follow these guidelines:
- 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Wipes: The reference recommends using a 70% isopropyl alcohol sanitizing wipe. Gently wipe the surfaces of your Pixelbook Go (the steps will apply to most Pixelbook models too).
- Avoid Overly Hard Scrubbing: Always be gentle when cleaning. Do not scrub aggressively, as this could cause damage.
- No Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using any chemical detergents, powders, benzene, or other chemical agents on your Pixelbook or its accessories. These can damage the finish and internal components.
