What to Do After Accidentally Spraying Glass Cleaner on My PC's I/O Panel?

I accidentally sprayed some glass cleaner on my PC's I/O panel while cleaning, and some of the creamy solution got into two of my USB ports and the PS/2 port. In a panic, I used compressed air which seemed to clear it up right away. Now I'm really worried about any potential damage. Is it safe to plug my PC back in? What steps should I take to ensure there's no lasting damage? Also, it dripped a bit but didn't hit any ports.

Te recomiendo rociar alcohol isopropílico en las áreas que se ensuciaron con el limpiador. Si puedes, usa una brocha pequeña para remover cualquier suciedad. Espera unos 10 minutos para que se evapore el alcohol antes de volver a usarlo.

Glass cleaner evaporates pretty quickly. Since you blew it out right away, it should be fine within a minute or so.

Just do a gentle clean with some alcohol and move on. It’ll help ensure everything’s clear.
