Cleaning Keyboards  |
| |
| Yesterday I decided to pop all the keys out of my keyboard and clean it. I accidentally spilled a drink on it a couple days ago and they were sticking so bad I could barely type anymore. It took a long time, but I thought it was clean and everything was good. Now this morning they are starting to stick again! I am going to try to clean it again... I just used q-tips and water last time and I got soooo much gunk and stickiness out I thought I was good! Guess not. What are your experiences with cleaning keyboards? Do you ever do it? This was my first time ever doing it. | | | | | |

| | I have never actually spilled anything on the keyboard really. I use that can of air that blows all of the dust and crumbs or whatever that accumulate over time. That seems to work best if I turn the keyboard upside down and blow the air into it. It did get to the point where my keys would stick too. Good luck getting that gunk out! I know it is a pain! | | | | | | |

| | I have to clean my keyboard all the time because I eat a lot of chocolate and cookies while surfing the net. I turn my keyboard upside down to get most of the crumbs out and then wipe it down and that pretty much does the trick. | | | | | | |

| | You are lucky the keyboard did not get shocked when you spill a drink on it. I had one experience and I had to use a hairdryer to dry it as the keys keep going haywire. As for cleaning the keyboard, I used to do it annually using toothpaste or gif powder, just need to be a bit careful with the letters being wiped clean. LOL. | | | | | | |

| | Yeah, I was sure it wasn't going to work right after that one. I spilled half a drink on it and I didn't really do much to wipe it up at the time, either. Oops. | | | |

| | i have taken mine completely apart from removing the screws on the back. it can be a little risky though, i put one back together and it didn't work but that could have been because of the drink that was spilled on it. but i wiped everything down with those electronic cleaning wipes, which i think is just basically alchohol but who really knows. | | | | | | |

| | I havent really cleaned my keyboard that often but Ive heard steam cleans it up pretty well. If you have a steam machine for your clothes, you can use that for your keyboard as well. It will do the job pretty good. | | | | | | |

| | Mostly, I wipe that dusts off my keyboard. But when cleaning it, I usually use furniture polish/wipes. I think it works for me, as I also stain my keyboards with foods that get stuck on the keys and between it. | | | | | | |

| | My kids are hard on my computer set up. I've gone through 4 keyboards last year alone. I have one that is water/liquid resistant and had it for almost 9 months now. I shut my computer down and take a washrag with a degreaser or citrus bases and wash all the keys down and q-tip between them. | | | | | | |

| | The last time I cleaned mine - I needed a new one when I was done. Noone in my house was happy with me so I look forward to what others say. I used windex and a toothbrush to get in between the keys. | | | | | | |
