[Wylug-help] Laptop cleaning

[Gary Stainburn]

Air duster was also going to be my suggestion.

Just a couple of workds of caution.

Make sure it's unplugged and the battery is disconnected.

There is a lot of condensate left if you're heavy handed with compressed air 
or either it in short bursts and leave the laptop to dry out afterwards

Don't blow directly into fans. They'll end up spinning 10's of times faster 
than designed and can stuff the bearings.

Having said all that it's still the simplest, most effective answer.
