It’s coming up on that time of year again, spring cleaning time. Enjoying the fresh air and changing weather often gives us a boost of productivity. And we get busy cleaning up around the house, refreshing home décor, and much more. But while you’re busy getting your house ready you may be missing out! Your devices could use a little spring cleanup too. What does that mean? How do you clean and refresh technology? We have the perfect tips for what to do when you get ready to spring clean your tech this year. Let’s get into it!
Spring Cleaning Tech Products
Let’s start with the basics. Cleaning. This means cleaning the physical outsides and interiors of your devices. If you’re tech savvy, take apart your PC case and blow it out with some air to get dust and dirt off your important computer parts. Or make sure to wipe down and clean your keyboard and mouse for laptops or computers. For phones, take your phone out of its case! Give it a good wipe down and clean, maybe even a new screen protector or themed case. Spring refresh can be really fun to do.
Organizing Applications
Next up would be to organize your devices. That means making sure your app organization still is functional. Are there apps you no longer use taking up space? Do you need new apps on your device? What about the folders and setup of your home screen? Take some time organizing and going through your applications this spring. You’d be surprised what you can do with just a little change to the apps and utilities on a device.
Spring Cleaning Junk
We all have our fair share of junk mail and unused items across our devices. Things like an overstuffed email, too full bookmarks, too many saved items, unused apps, and more. These are all things you can spring clean. For example, take some time sorting and removing any junk mail sitting in your email inbox. This will make your productivity skyrocket when finished. And it can help you prioritize your happiness when dealing with tech.
Fresh Tech Looks
Last but certainly not least is the look of your technology. If you want to change things up, spring is the perfect time to do so. Spring cleaning can mean a whole new outlook on your year. And you can show that via tech changes. Maybe a new phone or tablet case. Perhaps a different keyboard or key cover. Maybe you want to update your home and lock screens on devices to make them more spring themed or refreshed. Whatever you feel like doing, try it out!
