How do you clean dirty monitors and UPS?
I visited the old apartment and collected a lot of paper towels. I cleaned the cord with walfort lens wipes and even cleaned near the interior where dust accumulated. That seems acceptable, right? I also cleaned the bottom using the same wafers. I asked if there’s any chance mold spores are present in a UPS if you have dust inside. Could anyone here confirm this? Are you suggesting that if there’s dust in your equipment—whether it’s a UPS or a desktop laptop with visible parts—you’re likely to find mold spores? Or is this just about my situation, where I suspect possible mold because of the dust? I placed the UPS on the floor in the old apartment since there wasn’t enough space on my folding table. When I put it on the table, it was dirty, so I cleaned it with wafers and paper towels. I didn’t soak the paper towels. I have this product here: https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-CP1500...B000FBK3QK If you view the 360-degree image and move it around, notice if dust seems to be stuck in any spots? I used a paper towel to remove any dust or debris. But in the picture... it doesn’t look like the UPS interior is visible. When I wiped several areas with a paper towel, I wondered if dirt was inside. I took it back to the new apartment and left it on the floor. There was a lot of dust around the cord, especially near the part connecting to the UPS, so I cleaned that area too—using a wafers and a paper towel. I think I might have used a wafers wipe there as well. Is there any concern about mold spores spreading in general? Even without fans or AC running, could spores appear? People often say desktops have dust, which means they can harbor mold. Someone mentioned that as long as dust is present but no mold, it’s probably okay. But how do you tell if mold is actually there? You mean if you can see it? I used wafers and wiped the bottom of the UPS. Is there a reason people recommend cleaning the interior with air instead of wiping directly? Why do shops often clean inside desktops with compressed air, while I’m left to use wafers? If you don’t have a screwdriver, what’s the point? The confusing part is... did any dust I cleaned earlier end up inside the UPS? I thought wiping would remove it or let it fall out, but the 360-degree view shows no space for dust to hide.
