Hi. I live on dirt roads and the dust is unbelievable. I've heard that pantyhose
can be used over parts of the computer so I tried it. As I stretched one leg over
the back of the monitor, they shot across the room like a sling shot. My husband was sitting on the couch and they landed in his lap!
Blessings,

Doodle, I think you're not supposed to be wearing them when you try it. hehe!

I'm on a rock road that gets dusty when it's dry.
LOL , I usually just dust & vacuum ... a pantyhose covered computer would be too funny

[weegot5kiz]

could you just use a slip?

if its that bad i would make a note, that once a month unless it needs it more often, you shut it down open it up and GENTLY vacuum the vents and the fan and power motor vents and any dust bunnies you may have

inquiry minds want to know what did DH say when the hose landed lol

Panty hose is actually excellent or even the little stocking socks, [because they don't need to be cut up]. Just cut the stocking up and use the sock part as a glove.

I also use cut up strips of panty hose to tie up shrubs to stakes so they won't fall over. Better than anything else because it gives a little in the wind. Just use it in a figure of 8 with one loop around the trunk and one loop around the stake and it won't cut into the plant.

It's the greatest thing for cleaning stainless steel appliances and even the fake stainless steel (forget what that's called. I just call it 'that stainless steel coloured stuff'. lol It takes off all the fingerprints too.

gotta be careful getting the vacuum too close to my monitor. There are magnets in vacuum cleaners as well as speakers, and I tend to need to demagnetize it a lot.

Now I have a visual of pantyhose flying across the room!! LOL. My husband uses his air hose to blow the dust out of our lap tops.

That actully could be more dangrous than good. A airhose can have to much pressure and could knock wires loose. I would recomend a little can of air.

They clean the dust off of decorative candles too. Do the glove thing and wipe. Makes a candle look like new.

I still think a pair of stockings and a garter..oh..nevermind...it wasn't wear them when cleaning right?

I would keep in mind that computer parts are very susceptible to static electricity. I would avoid putting any pantyhose inside the computer, they are static magnets lol.

And vacuums also can create static electricity, so I would avoid putting the vacuum hose inside of the case. There are little battery operated vacuums you can buy that are just for cleaning computers, but cans of air are much cheaper.

Just a little static electricity can ruin your day

Anytime you are going to touch any parts inside your computer make sure you ground yourself by touching the outside of the case before you reach inside. And if your going to be changing parts, or building a new computer, try not to work on it while on a carpet.

LOL
I thought she was stretching the pantyhose over the computer to cover it and keep the dust out???
now I'm confuzzled

I'll admit to using our shop vac with the hose on the blower side and blowing out the insides and keyboard of my computer ..
but I kept it pretty far away from the case cause it blows pretty strongly.

Dust sure went flying everywhere..
then I switched to the vac side and caught most of it while floating in the air...I hope anyway...
