To clean your mouse - A q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol works best. The trac ball can pick up dirt and dust from your desk. If you notice your mouse "doesn't work right" it may be time to clean it. It snaps apart and together pretty easily.

It is a good idea to keep the vents and airholes clean and free of dust, pet hair or lint. How often you clean your computer depends more on the environment it's in than any amnufacturer recommendation. I have 2 dogs that shed so I clean my computer about every 2 months.

To clean your monitor - A soft cloth will remove dust. If you have fingerprints regular glass cleaner will work. Spray i ton the cloth and not directly on your monitor. Your computer should be off and be carful not to spray or spill in to the keyboard.
