Laptops are not just a necessity; they’re also an investment. The newer laptops have slim, minimalistic designs and high-quality features that make them appealing to consumers who want something new.
The majority of sleek laptops nowadays use aluminum as a material for the exterior. Unfortunately, there is one thing that’s common with all these devices: scratches on their aluminum bodies which make them look less than desirable.
But fret not!
There are many ways to keep your laptop looking great. These simple remedies that can be done at home include using a laptop cleaner or scratch remover, using plastic polish, using special metal polish, using baking soda, and last but not the least, using toothpaste.
Using a Laptop Cleaner or Scratch Remover
Get a laptop cleaner or scratch remover from your local nearby store, and follow these easy steps to remove the scratches!
First, use some solution on a soft lint-free cloth; make sure it’s wet with this liquid.
Next, move the cloth gently in circular motions by applying pressure so you don’t damage anything else around it while cleaning out those pesky scratches before they become permanent!
Use at least three coats to make your laptop’s appearance good. While this cleaner or scratch remover won’t be able to remove all the scratches, it will work out pretty well in making its surface look great when used with multiple applications on a regular basis.
Using Plastic Polish
To do this, you’ll just need some dishwashing soap mixed in water to give it that bubbly texture and mix together until all combined.
Then grab an old linen piece of cloth and use that soft linen piece of cloth again to fill it with the liquid, then start rubbing in all directions over any scratch you see on your device’s surface.
Once finished cleaning up each spot thoroughly, dry off every area using another new clean towel or rag from home so you don’t leave anything behind.
After cleaning the surface of your laptop, apply a plastic polish to remove scratches. Be sure not to use any liquid polishes that will cause more damage.
Then dry off with a linen cloth for an amazing finish that stays without looking dull and dirty.
Using Metal Polish
Metal polish, a liquid-based solution, is the same as plastic polish except that it has more abrasive properties which work well in getting rid of scratches.
Soak a cotton ball into this metal polish and rub it over the laptop’s surface using circular motions until you see all those unwanted streaks disappear before your eyes!
Once you’re done, make sure to clean off any leftovers of the metal polish using a soft lint-free cloth and then a water-dampened piece of white paper towel.
Using Baking Soda
Baking soda is used (among many other things) as a deodorizer for your refrigerator so chances are you already have some at home.
To apply this remedy, you need to mix it with some water until it forms a thick paste.
Spread that over the scratched part of the laptop, rubbing in a circular motion, and let sit for about 10 minutes before rubbing off the excess baking soda using another soft but dry material.
Using Toothpaste
Now here’s an interesting one, toothpaste!
Toothpaste, just like baking soda, can also be used to remove scratches on your aluminum laptop.
Here’s what you need to do: gently brush over scratches until they disappear and rinse away any excess toothpaste using a soft towel or cloth, leaving your laptop looking great!
Conclusion
Use these simple remedies to keep your laptop looking great, and don’t forget to share some of your ways on how you clean your aluminum laptop.
By keeping your laptop clean and scratch-free, you will be able to keep it in better condition for a longer period of time while making it look great.
