How to Clean Cat Hair From a Computer

From the point of view of a cat, computers make lovely warm snoozing spots, ideal for a quick nap. Jumping on the computer also tends to guarantee attention from its user. Even if your cat doesn̵7;t make a habit of sitting on your laptop or PC, his hair is still liable to clog it up -- cat hair has an irritating habit of getting everywhere.

Instructions

      Turn off your computer and unplug it.

      Use the corner attachment on your vacuum cleaner to vacuum the keyboard and monitor, which should remove the bulk of the hair and dust.

      Brush out the accessible parts of your computer with a stiff, clean paintbrush, preferably not a cheap one that has a habit of shedding hairs itself.

    • 4

      Use fine-tipped tweezers to remove any remaining stubborn hairs.

    • 5

      Open the casing and blow out any dust and hair with a can of compressed air, widely available from electronic stores. Vacuum or sweep up the mess once it is out of your computer.
