What is the best way to clean a keyboard?
1. Gather your supplies. There are commercial kits available, but a can of compressed air, a lint-free cloth or wipes, mild dishwashing liquid, and a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush are all you really need for a basic cleaning.
2. After turning off your computer and unplugging your keyboard, gently shake the keyboard upside down over some newspaper to dislodge loose crumbs and particles.
3. Use the can of compressed air to blow a stream of air between the keys. Repeat Step 2.
4. Dampen a lint-free cloth with a diluted solution of dishwashing liquid and water to wipe down the keys.
5. Use the vacuum cleaner brush attachment to suck away any remaining dirt or debris.
