    Disinfecting a Polyurethane Smart Case

    I have an iPad 4 in a gray Apple Polyurethane Smart Case and I would like to know the best and safest way to clean it and disinfect it without ruining the exterior material.

    Cleaning tips?

    Anyone have any ideas of being able to clean the iMac's heatsinks/fan without taking the screen off? Compressed air seems to be the only solution, I wish Apple made these things a little easier to maintain.

    cleaning the retina Macbook keyboard

    I have had a macbook 2016 since it came out. I generally like the keyboard but there are serious issues with keys that become unresponsive or just don't have the same feedback as the neighbouring key. Apple has even posted a "how to" and suggest that you buy a can of air spray to fix your...
