Cleaning your Chromebook:


  • Before cleaning, POWER down your Chromebook.
  • Clean the screen with a soft, dry antistatic, or microfiber cloth. 
  • Do not use window cleaner or any type of liquid on the Chromebook. 
  • You can also use packaged pre-moistened eyeglass lens cleaning tissues to clean the screen.
