Our Story
CleanPC Tips was founded in 2019 by a small team of IT professionals who were tired of seeing friends and family fall for expensive, unnecessary "PC cleaning" software. We noticed that most people did not know about the powerful built-in tools that Windows already provides for maintaining a clean and healthy system.
What started as a simple blog with a handful of how-to guides has grown into a trusted resource for hundreds of thousands of Windows users. Every article we publish follows the same principle: provide clear, step-by-step instructions using only free, built-in tools.
We do not promote third-party cleaning utilities, we do not accept sponsored posts from software vendors, and we do not use scare tactics to make you think your PC is in danger. Our guides are honest, practical, and written for real people — not tech experts.
Our mission is to empower every Windows user with the knowledge to maintain their own PC, without spending a dime on unnecessary software.
