Regular cleaning of your devices is one of the best practices of preventative maintenance to enhance their lifespan. Unfortunately, many of today’s electronics contain increasingly small connections, ports and other tight spaces. Through regular use, these areas of our devices collect dirt, lint and other contaminants. iFixit has assembled a group of helpful and practical tools to tackle cleaning hard-to-reach areas. These are meant to be reused, so keep them clean between projects.Kit Contents Spudger - an iFixit standard with many uses, great for scraping and picking. Halberd Spudger - Scoop out lint with the hook, or use the blade to clean tight spaces. Angled Tweezers - Useful for grabbing lint or debris from ports, but be careful not to damage the delicate pins within! iFixit Contact Conditioner and Cleaner - Cleans tarnished or corroded electronic contacts, helps improve conductivity and protects against future corrosion.
