cleaning

I work in the countryside gathering requirements, so my laptop often gets a lot of dust, and I cannot dedicate too much time for cleaning it, nor opening it.

I'd like to hear what solutions do you use for cleaning it, specially the screen and keyboard. I prefer home-made solution before special products, that I cannot buy at work.

Thanks in advance.

I hope this question doesn't get closed at once :) I have an old laptop, a Compaq NC4200, which is going its final laps around the track these days. Battery is dead, and everything kinda runs slow. It also has only 1GB of memory, and even though I don't know if it can take more, I probably wouldn't… >>> More
