The Proper Way To Vacuum Your Apple iMac Computer

To keep your iMac happy, I suggest vacuuming it regularly (every 3-6 months is a good idea for most people, but if you have pets, or a dusty environment, do it more often). This prevents dust and fur accumulation inside, which can lead to heat buildup over time (which will reduce the lifespan of your Mac). In this quick video I detail what vacuum attachments to use and what parts of your iMac you want to vacuum, in order to keep it free of dust and running cool. Obviously you want to actually turn your vacuum on after you watch this video. I didn't have my vacuum turned on, for the sake of clean audio recording :) Before you start, click on the Apple Menu in the upper left corner of the screen and choose Shut Down. Once the computer is completely shut down (usually takes a minute or two after you tell it to Shut Down), turn on your vacuum and get to work. Take care not to press the power button while you're vacuuming. (I do suggest keeping the computer connected to power during the vacuuming, so that it's grounded to the electrical system.) Please note that the later generations of iMac do not have the vent slot at the very top. This is normal. If you don't have the slot at the top, you can ignore that step. Some people don't believe that there's a vent across the entire bottom of the imac! But it's there, I promise you. Every generation of imac sucks in cool air at the bottom and pushes out hot air at the back and/or top. If you've had your imac for a while before vacuuming it, I would suggest vacuuming the bottoms vents once, then use a small brush like an old toothbrush, and sweep it across the bottom slowly and gently (but getting the bristles up inside). Then after the brush run the vacuum across the bottom again. Some people have asked about the value of using a can of compressed air on these vents. I always recommend that your FIRST vacuum the vents. This pulls the dust out of the computer. Then if you want to use a can of air as a followup to the vacuum, go ahead. I would also suggest running the vacuum again after the can of air. Always remember to keep air cans upright as you use them (and use the red straw to aim the air stream).
