# DIY Electronic Parts Cleaner
The surfaces and parts of electronic products often attract dust and need to be cleaned regularly to maintain performance. Otherwise, dust permeating the inner workings of your electronics can cause damage that will be costly to repair or replace. You can use formulas specialized for cleaning electronics, yet these sprays can get expensive. Instead, consider creating your own safe and effective cleaners from natural, household products.
