Caring for Your Electronics

Updated 2 January 2020 03:52 PM

Despite the protestations of marketing, it is essential that we look after and maintain our electronics so that they can have a long life. 

These are several tips you can follow to improve the life span and functioning of your electronics:


  1. Ensure that your electronic has a case or cover as this will help protect it from crashes and fall
  2. Use a screen protector for your touch-screen electronics
  3. Where possible, drain your electronic completely before re-charging to 100%
  4. Turn the power off every now and then (try for once a week)
  5. Clean your electronic often using safe products

Science Notes

Smartphones and tablets can carry more bacteria and germs than found on a toilet seat!

It is therefore important that you clean your electronic often as well as its case. This will ensure that the bacteria and germs are removed. Use a microfiber cloth to clean your electronic on a regular basis.
