A friend once asked me the best way he could clean up his laptop keyboard. Honestly, the steps are simple and easy.

As your late-night snacks and caffeine-powered drinks are often the closest companions while typing away at computer.

You really need to inspect your computer keeyboard once in a while because it might have become covered with crumbs, grease and other stains and dusts.

To clean your keyboard, follow these simple steps:

Remove Crumbs

1. You need to first shut down your computer and unplug your keyboard from CPU if you are using desktop.

2. Turn it upside down and shake it off so those loose debris fall off. Compressed air will help if you have one; spray it on those lines in between those keys.

Start Cleaning The Keys

1. You need alcohol to do this. Dip a cotton swab into gentle alcohol and brush the surrounding area of the keys.

2. Again dip a cotton into alcohol and brush the surface fo those keys (especially those heavily used ones like spacebar and Enter key).

3. Use dry cloth to clean and remove dust and polish keyboard.

4. Plug keyboard back, if you are using desktop

But if you consider doing it industrial way, continue below:

Remove and clean the keys

Though most keyboard letters are designed to allow you remove them with simple tool like butter knife, but I recommend you get a key cap puller from an electronics supply store.

Most important, endeavour to take a snap picture of your keyboard before removing the keys.

Once keys are remmoved, throw them into a wash basin filled with lukewarm water and detergent and let them soak for a while, then scrub with small brush, can be your old tooth bruth. Rinse with cool water and blow-dry each cap then with compressed air or spread to dry by themselves.

Now you can replace them into their positions.

Thanks! I guess methylated spirit can be used as well in place of alcohol.
