A little care goes a long way — and it keeps your gadgets looking and working like new.
Headphones
Wipe cushions with a dry cloth once a week and store them in their case. Earbud tips come off for a gentle wash.
Laptops
Restart once a week, keep an eye on start-up apps and give the vents a quick blast of air every few months.
Cameras
Use a blower before a cloth on the lens, and always put the body cap on when you change lenses.
Cables and batteries
Coil cables loosely and avoid leaving devices at 100% on a hot windowsill — batteries last longer when they stay cool.
