How Dirty Is Your Keyboard?  email this discussion to a friend?

The keyboard is the dirtiest part of my computer. There's so much junk inside that you can probably plant something in it. Turning my keyboard upside down and shaking it reveals lots of hidden treasures. There are bread crumbs, pencil shavings, hair, some dandruff, lots of dust, a fingernail, a dead insect, and a piece of corn chip. Cool. So how dirty is your keyboard?

Hi,nocturn98.I think is the most dirty part of my computer.Because I always eating food when I use my computer.And a lot of things fell in my keyboard.I can see some shells and my hairs,maybe there're also some tatters in it.I don't know how to clean it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. nocturn98 (857)   ranked 804 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I've read somewhere that you can hose down your keyboard with water and it will still be okay as long as you let it dry completely. I've never tried it, buying a new one seems like a better idea.

Hi nocturn

Ha ha,lol I think you are eating on computer table. My keyboard is the beautiful one and the reason is it is newblink and black in colour. Earlier my keyboard got dirty (it was white in colour) but definitely there was no eatables but I was little negligent for cleaning in the beginning. Even I tried my best to clean it later and I succeeded 95 percent only. So when I got the new one I am extremely careful with the same and always covering when not in use. Now I am happy that my keyboard is absolutely clean and looks beautiful. happy

Haha, just because the keyboard is the most dirty part, I use a plastic cover put on top of it, so nice and clean for ever.

Keyboards can get pretty dirty. Mine is no exception. Things are in the keyboard. Food and I don't even want to know what else is in there. I try and keep it clean for the most part. Clean it about once a week or so. Since its at the end of the week, it's at its dirtiest. I used to have a cover for it but it just feels funny typing with one. Therefore I removed it, despite the fact that the keyboard is getting dirty.

Though it's not as bad as it used to be because I've now bought a brush to clean it with, my keyboard is still full of muck and rubbish. Mostly dust, crumbs of food, cigarette ash, hairs....can't say I've found any dandruff, pieces of corn chip or fingernails in there yet though, but there's still time for that or worse lol.

This keyboard is kept pretty clean. However, the keyboard in the back room needs to be cleaned because it hasn't been used in so freaking long.

That is too much for your keyboard to have stuffed like that.I don't eat or drink anything near my computer and so there is no chance like yours.But it used to look ugly due to the dirt and dust.I use to clean it once in two months at the least.But now,i don't need to worry as I have bought a new laptop.Daily,I clean everything before closing it.
