Cleaning barcode scanners correctly
Remove dirt and dust
Soft microfiber cloths (like eyeglass cleaning cloths) are suitable for easy cleaning of virtually all electronic devices. Slightly moistened, you can use them to quickly remove dirt and debris from both the casing and displays. Cotton swabs are suitable as a supplement for entrances and hard-to-reach recesses. Or special cleaning clay, which even safely removes deposits in loudspeakers. Devices with a correspondingly high IP protection class can also be cleaned of coarse dirt under running water without hesitation.
Thorough disinfection
In disinfection, it is not only the protection against the penetration of liquids that plays a role; the surface materials are also decisive. Only certain plastics can be permanently cleaned with disinfectants without becoming brittle and cracked.
If aggressive agents are used, the manufacturer's specifications must always be observed. Only tested disinfectants protect the warranty and prevent damage to the equipment. The agents must not be mixed, otherwise undesirable chemical reactions may occur.
