YOU don’t need fancy kit to keep your screens clean.
With a bit of know-how, you can keep your gadgets sparkly and germ-free without splashing cash.
Clean up with these ideas.
ON THE BUTTONS: TV remotes, gaming handsets, computer mice and keyboards all need a regular wipe.
For keyboards, turn your device off before tipping it upside down to dislodge and loose dirt.
Use a clean, soft make-up brush, paintbrush or toothbrush to dust over the keys, and then wipe gently with a screen wipe.
You can use a cotton bud to dust gently between the keys.
GOOD CALL: How often does your phone need cleaning?
A lot more often than you think.
With nearly half of us taking our phones into the bathroom, experts recommend a daily wipe-over to get rid of any germs.
You can use screen wipes, but they are not essential.
Instead, a dash of washing-up liquid in a bowl of water works wonders.
Dip in a soft microfibre cloth, then wring it out so it is just a little damp.
Turn off your phone, then wipe over the screen and casing avoiding any openings like charging and headphone ports.
Don’t forget to clean inside the case too.
Whatever you do, don’t put your phone in water.
Only the newest waterproof models — which will have an IP7 or IP68 rating — can withstand a dunking.
SCREEN SAVER: A smeary screen can ruin your enjoyment of the latest drama.
First off, try cleaning with a dry soft cloth.
Don’t use anything with a rough surface, or kitchen roll, which could scratch your screen.
Wipe gently in small circles, without pushing on the screen too much.
For stubborn stains, it’s recommended that you switch off your set before using a cloth that has been dampened with a little water.
Use another cloth to dry.
Use a similar method for a laptop screen.
