How do I clean the computer case safely?
For light stains or dirt, use plain water with a clean, lint-free cloth or swab. For stronger stains, use a mild dishwashing liquid diluted with water and rinse with a damp cloth, and for stubborn stains use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, which evaporates quickly and leaves no residue. Always unplug the computer when cleaning with liquids or damp cloths, and never use solvents or flammable solutions. (Page 15)
