Title
How to clean your MacBooks fan and prevent overheating!
Introduction
Hi there! As someone who was not to familiar with unscrewing things and always being afraid of messing things up, this was the very first thing I successfully did in order to improve my MacBooks life. And guess what? It wasn’t as scary and complicated as I thought it would be. It’s a super easy and uncomplicated task and it’s totally doable once or twice a year. Your MacBook will be super happy and forgive you for keeping it in your bed a few (or many) times. It’s a fresh start for both of you! All you need is some space on a desk, a P5 Pentalobe screwdriver, a cleaning cloth, maybe a hairdryer (or strong lungs if you want to blow yourself) and some sort of (clean!) brush. Let’s go!

Conclusion
To reassemble your MacBook, just put the housing on the back, push gently until you hear a soft click. Take your little screws and screw them back into their place. Make sure everything sits tight. Now that your MacBook is still off, it might be worth also cleaning the display and keyboard with a soft cloth… when your done, just turn your MacBook on and feel good about yourself!
