Cleaning Kit Essentials
These are the items that you will want to have in your iPad cleaning kit.
You will never use too much rubbing alcohol every time you clean, but this six-ounce 32-oz. The bottles will keep you stocked for a long time.
Narrow-tipped cotton swabs make it easy to clean areas like speaker grills, where the narrow holes in the grill can prevent standard swabs from getting in.
Having a collection of toothpicks is an essential part of any gadget cleaning kit. If you’ve ever been unable to charge your iPad due to lint getting caught deep in its Lightning port.
You should know that a toothpick will be thin enough to get out of there without doing much damage to the port.
How You Should Make Your Purchase
Getting a six-pack of microfiber cloths is a good idea, as you’ll probably want at least two for each cleaning session (one to clean your tablet with a cleanser, one to clean everything when you’re done)
