Chromebooks/Google Drive 

Cleaning the Chromebook  -  It is a good practice to clean your LCSS issued Chromebook periodically to protect the surfaces and ensure trouble-free operation. 

Cleaning the Chromebook cover - Wipe it with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Avoid applying liquids directly to the cover. 

Cleaning the keyboard   -  Wipe the keys one by one with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. If you wipe several keys at a time, the cloth might hook onto an adjacent key and possibly damage it. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the keyboard. To remove any crumbs or dust from beneath the keys, you can use the cool air from a hair dryer. 

Cleaning the computer screen  -  Scratches, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the performance of your Chromebook screen. Use a dry, soft lint-free cloth to wipe the screen gently. If you see a scratch-like mark on your screen, it might be a stain. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the stain remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or eyeglass cleaner, but do not apply liquids directly to your display screen. Ensure that the display screen is dry before closing it.
