   • The cleaner restores the functionality of oxidized contacts, ensuring a reliable and stable connection for electrical circuits and components.
5. Ease of Use:
   • The convenient spray can allows for easy and targeted application, even in hard-to-reach areas.

Disadvantages:

1. Oil Residue:
   • Although the cleaner is designed to evaporate quickly, overuse or improper application might leave slight residues on some surfaces, potentially attracting dust or debris over time.
2. Not Suitable for All Materials:
   • While generally safe for most electronic devices, it may not be suitable for certain plastic materials or components that are sensitive to oil-based products. Always test on a small area before general use.
3. Limited Volume:
   • A 250ml spray can might be limiting for larger-scale cleaning needs or for high-usage environments, requiring frequent replenishment.

How to Use:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from the power supply before using the contact cleaner.
2. Spray the Cleaner:
   • Hold the spray can at a distance of around 10-15 cm from the component you wish to clean. Spray a small amount onto the contacts, connectors, or moving parts.
3. Allow it to Dry:
   • Let the cleaner evaporate for a few seconds to a minute (depending on the amount applied). It should leave no residue and will be ready for use almost immediately.
4. Reassemble the Device:
   • Once the cleaning process is complete, reassemble the device and power it on
