I think there’d be a demand for a service _in cafes_ for “professional cleaning of keyboards and displays of laptops, phones, and tablets.” Why in a cafe – see at the end.
Personally, my laptop is always connected to an external monitor, which causes dust to accumulate in the crevices of the keys and display, and the display itself gets stained – it’s hardly used, and it’s in an “aggressive environment” (I’m nearby).
Keyboards are a story of their own. It’s virtually impossible to clean them properly. You might say – just buy a new one, but that depends on the person. I bought my keyboard almost six years ago https://geektimes.ru/post/132977/ (160$).
Cleaning a laptop keyboard is even more challenging. Just blowing air is… first, not very effective; second, you need to use cans with low pressure, otherwise, it will rip out the keys. And dust tends to accumulate under them. Well, it’s worth removing at least the dust you can see.
The screen – similarly. If it’s matte, like on my DELL or Lenovo, there is always a gap between the screen and the frame where dust gets compacted and you can’t pick it out with wipes. Plus there are stains. They are visible on a black screen and invisible on a lit one. You end up noticing them at the most inconvenient times to wipe them off.
Well, it’s the same story with tablets and phones.
Cars get washed by their owners, right? Why not the same with tech equipment?
So I’m thinking. If there were such a “cafe” where you can bring your laptop, hand it over for cleaning, have a coffee or breakfast with a tablet that they provide in the meantime, and then pick up your laptop again. I see many such services, but they all seem like a service center. Technically, whether it’s a cafe or a service center, it’s the same behind the scenes, but it’s somehow more comfortable to go to a cafe. Isn’t it?
