The keyboard in my laptop is nowhere near clean. It's got dirt and smudges embedded in it I think. Any recommendations on how I can clean it? Picture for your admiration ...

I usually clean my keyboard with a small toothbrush and blow the dust off....or sometimes I used screen cleaner to remove some stubborn dirt and used cotton bud too. That's my DIY.

Toothbrush sounds interesting. It may be a good option.

Use a brush, a cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth! Also earbuds do help! Order a cleaning solution for electronics from amazon!

I just let the dirt accumulate. I do not want to disturb the fragile ecosystem existing in my keyboard.

@pitstop yes if we can keep a day or a date as Cleanliness day for our computers. It would be very interesting.

I use one of my smallest paint brushes. You can also use another small brush.

I purchased the small brush to use my laptop. It's pretty handy.

@pitstop I can only tell you that I use a dry rag to clean my keyboards with. My keyboard before this one was dirty too and I did not use a wet rag to clean it and after a while I could not live with the dirt so got this keyboard.
