MacBook cleaning

If you use your MacBook intensively, we recommend having it deep cleaned once a year. Do you only use it now and then? Then have it cleaned at least every two years. This ensures optimal performance and hygienic use!

One of our specialists opens your MacBook and thoroughly cleans the inside. We also clean the outside with a special cleaning agent developed for this purpose. We take great care with your MacBook throughout. You get your MacBook back completely clean and fresh!

It usually takes only about an hour when you schedule an appointment online. Our specialist will tell you in advance when your MacBook will be ready.

Does the fan keep blowing, does your MacBook get hot quickly or is it slower than it used to be? Then dust may be the cause. Crumbs under your keys or sticky keys are also a sign that your MacBook needs a deep cleaning. Not sure? Feel free to walk in and our specialists will take a look with you.
