I need to clean the dust out of my computer. Previously, I have used canned air, but it seems now I cannot find any without a bitterant to prevent inhalant abuse. I just bought a can that says it is suitable for "home, office, electronics, and auto."
Is there any reason to worry about the bitterant chemical damaging the insides of my computer?
1Dunno, but I have used a leaf blower to clean out an older computer with 6 inches of dust build up. They wondered why their 2 year old computer kept crashing... >< – kobaltz – 2012-01-02T07:01:37.440
A computer is not much different from
electronics
, hence you can. You would actually want to prevent inhalant abuse to ensure your computer doesn't blow bad air into your room... – Tamara Wijsman – 2012-01-02T22:22:16.473@Tom: How does preventing inhalant abuse ensure your computer doesn't "blow bad air into your room"? – Lèse majesté – 2012-04-16T03:29:13.297
We have a force air blow dryer that I've used to clean out my computer many times. It's also great for keyboards, fun to watch all the dog fur and junk scoot along under the keys and then POP out. – Rob – 2012-04-16T04:23:23.260
An oil free air compressor is handy and can be used for many other tasks too. – Aki – 2012-04-16T17:55:06.943
