by

Cleaning, a word that induces fear in our hearts. You can work all day long, mess up your workstation, that maybe your desk. But when you think about cleaning up, you feel paralyzed. There’s no sugarcoating it; we’re all guilty of that.

If only there were a magical way! Having desk cleaners to help clean your desk can save you from nightmares before Sunday morning while making cleaning easier and fun. They’re not magic, but they do work.

Lots of desk cleaners are available at the stores, but are they worth the price tag? From spray to desk wipes and vacuum cleaners, each has its functions, serving you differently.

So which one to buy? Let us save you from the trouble!

In this article, we’ll talk about how these products play a role in cleaning and their features. Four different distinct types of cleaning products. 

Desk Cleaner Spray

There are loads of spray-type desk cleaners available in the market. Each of them has its characteristics and advantages. It’s not practical to use one single product for only one part of cleaning.

So we went a mile and chose two different cleaners that serve all the basic needs for cleaning. One from 3M, another from Guardsman. The first one is for surfaces except for wood, the latter is especially for wood.

1. 3M Desk And Office Cleaner

The 3M Desk And Office Cleaner has a reputation in its particular field for its fast-acting behavior. This cleaning spray solution is suitable for all kinds of surfaces such as desktops, painted surfaces, cabinets, etc.

Sometimes some cleaning products leave a scent on the surface, and many do not like it. Scented cleaners leave a trail that says “He just cleaned me!”. But having no scent in this spray makes it suitable to use for everyone.

The formula in the solution is free from any abrasive elements. So it can cut through dirt, grime, and grease like no one’s business.

The solution comes in a 15-ounce can and is very easy to use. It catches all kinds of dirt, oils, and even grease. Removing tough stains won’t be a time-consuming chore anymore!

Highlighted Features:

  • Excellent for use on any surface
  • Unscented, suitable for clean and non-noticeable cleaning
  • As it comes out like foam, it helps to stop the fluid run on surfaces
  • The foam can enter tight corners, and after shaking it can exert a much higher pressure to clean the narrowest corner
  • It cleans quickly and saves you a lot of time

2. Guardsman Wood Desk Cleaner

As you can guess from the name, this desk cleaner is specially made for wood surfaces. Wood is different from other surfaces because of its atomic structure. So it needs little extra care.

Guardsman manufactured this cleaner keeping you, wood loving people in mind. This cleaner just doesn’t clean your wood table; it guards them; pun intended. You can clean away all the dirt but to bring back that fantastic sleeky look the table had during purchase can seem impossible.

But that was before. When you use this cleaner, you’ll realize again that nothing is impossible. After finishing up with this cleaner, you’ll see the sleeky fresh clean look from before is back! What this does is that it nourishes the atomic surface. It gives what it needed.

Do fingerprints on your precious table worry you? It won’t be worrisome for people who have this cleaner at home. Just a drop of it and effectively removes whatever stain is there.

Desk Cleaner Wipes

Using spray for just a bit of a mess that your kid made isn’t ideal. Sprays are for mass-cleansing of dirt. So what do you use for these small bits of dirt?

Wipes. Wipes are the portable type of dish cleaners. The components are more or less the same, but in a small package. You won’t need any scrub or cloth for this. They are enough on their own.

1. Tidy Table Massage Table Cleaning Wipes

The massage table cleaning wipes from Tidy Table, as you can guess, is especially for massage tables. Why is this important? Because it lets us know that these wipes take great care of the surface. These don’t resemble bleach in any way and so far from it. Also, they don’t leave the surface dry keeping it safe from damage.

It’s medically safe because these wipes are for one-time use only. You can see people with germophobia use these wipes every time. Being a one-time use wipe, it removes any path for cross-contamination.

The wipes from Tidy Table is thicker than its competitions, so it doesn’t let the wet dirt soak up to the upper surface. These wipes will swipe away all kinds of dirt, oils, sweat without leaving any prints. Cleaning solution evaporates quickly and doesn’t leave any residue.

The ingredients used in the cleaning solution in the Tidy Table wipes are all natural. So these wipes being safe for every surface shouldn’t come to you as a surprise. Even if your skin is extra sensitive, you’ll remain safe while using it.

Another thing that is worth mentioning is the saying from the manufacturer itself. When asked about their warranty they boasted saying that, if this isn’t the best cleaning product they’ll refund anyone who claims!

2. Weiman Wood Desk Cleaner & Polishing Wipes

Wood gets extra care, doesn’t it seem like it? This specially made product for wood points that way for sure. Weiman is from the same tree; they made these polishing wipes as a portable cleaning solution for things made of wood. This phenomenon exists in all types of cleaners as we saw in the spray section.

Did being a portable solution take away from the quality? No, it didn’t. Instead, it made your job more comfortable and less bothersome.

Ability to restore and revitalize wood to its previous fresh form is what makes this cleaning solution unique in our eyes. It doesn’t only clean the wood surface but also keeps it damage free. Moisturization and conditioning the wood gets top priority.

Added sunscreen in the wipes keeps UV away, and that increases its lasting ability. UV damages the color of varnish you’ve applied on your furniture, but with this wipe in use, color is safe.

Sometimes you might notice that there are some cracks on the wood surface. It happens because the surface becomes dry allowing contraction of the fibers. And this wipe prevents your wood furniture from having dried, cracked surfaces. It does it by keeping the moisture level constant.

Sounds simple, works amazing! These dusters underwent a lot of evolutions to get to where these are now. Below we’ll talk about two of them, chosen from hundreds.

1. Feather Duster

Although the name is a feather duster, it’s not actual feather, rather a collection of synthetic microfibers. No, they’re not trying to fool you! This microfiber’s feather design is such that it won’t stir up that allergy of yours. They made it especially keeping you, the allergy-prone people in mind.

How does it do that? Simple, it simply doesn’t only dust off dirt but also collects them at a time. As a result, you are safe from taking those nasty specs of dirt through your nose.

You might ask, what’s so special about this duster? The 360-degree maneuverability gives you the ability to reach the impossible corners you couldn’t reach before due to the design.

And the adjustability of the length helps to increase its reaching ability which is absent in other short-handled dusters. Unlike any other disposable dusters, this one is reusable, washable and it’s eco-friendly too! If that’s your thing!

Keyboard Cleaner

The thing to be kept in mind about the keyboard is that dirt and dust is their never-ending companionship. You cannot get rid of it because of the corners and narrow places in the keyboard design. Under the keys, between the keys, in the keyholes, every place becomes full of dirt every few weeks.

So, to target those bundle of trash, you need to have some special cleaners. To accomplish that, we’ve selected three types of cleaners. A gel gum cleaner, a vacuum cleaner, and a compressed gas cleaner.

1. Gel Gum Keyboard Cleaner

Ever seen what happens when you or your kids play with spongy gum type toys? Did you notice how those toys become darker day by day? Is it a sunburn? No! It’s the dirt from your kid’s hands getting stuck to it.

Similarly, this gel gum keyboard sticks itself onto the dirt on your keyboard when you use the gel gum. The more you press it, the more it spreads and attaches itself to more dust. And as the toy absorbs the dirt, this gel gum too absorbs all of the dirt from the corners of your keyboard.

The material is very simple, kind of glue and very soft to the touch. It doesn’t cause any harm to your skin, very safe to use as it doesn’t contain any acrimony. You can use it until the color turns to dark black. The package contains 4 of them making sure to last for a long time.

The application method is easy and simple. Just put it on your keyboard and press it gently until you feel that it reached enough. Then pull it back a little by little. Don’t rush as some parts can stick harder than other parts. If so then those will remain after peeling it off.

Some residual parts may still be there after you have peeled off the gel gum. No need to frown! Just use a cotton bud or pipe cleaner to take those bits out.

Highlighted Features:

  • Soft to touch
  • Harmless to skin
  • No acrimony
  • Cleans very precisely
  • 4 in a pack

2. Eleshroom Vacuum Keyboard Cleaner

A more efficient and satisfying way to clean your keyboard is using a vacuum cleaner. But those huge vacuum cleaners we use in our houses won’t do it for you, will it? Those will suck your keyboard in along with the dirt. It’s quite the common sense that you need a vacuum cleaner with a concentrated airway to target specific corners where the wipes can’t reach.

This vacuum cleaner from Eleshroom is the portable kind that you can take wherever you travel for work or pleasure. It has a 2000 mAh battery built-in that lets you use it for a long time up to 50 minutes of continuous cleaning after one charge. So you don’t have to think twice before using it.

As for that concentrated airway that we talked about, this one has two different nozzle shapes for that for different purposes. One circular and the other rectangular. There’s more! Along with the package, you get two different brushes so that you can scrape away the dust without using power.

This mini vacuum cleaner has a thermostability ABS exterior which clearly shows the craftsmanship that went into this. So durability in the long run and comfort while using is guaranteed. Worried about temperature? Nothing to worry! It has two side air vents for heated air to pass outside.

The nozzle, brush and the filter are washable, so if you want to use it for a long time, you may do so. And their adaptation of using a brushless DC motor gives it the ability to gain more vacuum strength and suction ability.

Highlighted Features:

  • Two different nozzle shape
  • Easy maintenance
  • Rechargeable
  • Portable
  • 50 minutes of continuous work

3. Dust-Off Keyboard Cleaner

We all have used our mouths to blow air to remove dust from books and furniture, haven’t we? Well, did that work very well? I suppose not. It didn’t work as we hoped because it wasn’t concentrated. Low airflow if concentrated then it works very powerfully. That was missing from our futile attempts.

Dust-off cleaner does exactly that. It has compressed gas inside, and the outlet is a concentrated path leading to a powerful blast of air to a specific area. So it becomes very easy for you to target the areas where dust gathers most. Even you can insert the outlet pipe inside your electronics.

If you got loads of electronics in your household or your office you can use this without any worry. They made it especially for cleaning CPUs, keyboard and other accessories.

The components inside are very safe for you and the environment. No CFCs or HCFCs, so the ozone layer is safe from it. Some compressed gas cleaner may contain flammables, but this one doesn’t have any butane and propane.

Although the purpose is to clean electronics as it says on the container, you can also use it to clean your collectables, small showpieces, and others. 10oz is a large amount to use for small-scale cleaning like these. So be assured of long-term usage.

Highlighted Features:

  • 100% Ozone safe
  • Powerful
  • 10oz lasts longer
  • Not flammable
  • Contains bitterant to stop inhalant abuse
