Cleaning Your Keyboard Keyboards are pretty delicate and can be easily damaged through improper cleaning techniques. So when you can't stand the dust bunnies and food crumbs between the keys any longer, try this: Turn off your system and use a handheld vacuum cleaner to gently remove any dust. Then dampen a rag and lightly wipe the tops of the keys. (Use plain water to lightly dampen the rag -- solvents or too much water will damage the keyboard.) Dampen a Q-Tip with alcohol and run it between the keys and into the spots you can't reach with the rag. (Make sure Q-Tip is not dripping) |
