destinking the computers.

I use partial disassembly, vacuuming, and spot wash.
The partial disassembly is 99% just take the cover off
and wash it.
The worst smelling stuff is usually just the dust (in
extreme cases mouse nesting) which is easily removed
with the vacuum. (If it really is nesting then don't
breathe it and Wash your hands frequently.
P.S.This has never been in computer equipment)
I might do spot dusting with a Q-tip wetted with Window
cleaner, mostly just to lift the dust.
Don't be too afraid to take it apart, you get to learn
how its constructed, that's a fun part.

Also don't give up on the spray dusters. Here in the U.S.
they've just mutated to a less Freonic form.
