Wipe down the surface. Move aside any “light items,” such as the phone and keyboard. If the surface is laminate or another washable material, opt for an all-purpose cleaner. If wood, try a water-vinegar mix.
Delete dust. “Nothing seems to attract dust like electronics do.” Use micro-fiber cloths or wipes, specially made for electronics, to avoid scratching surfaces or leaving lint behind. Lightly go over the monitor. Then dampen the cloth and “buff away grime” on the rest of the computer.
