What's your recommendation for cleaning the keyboard on a laptop?

alcohol, qtips and a microfiber cloth

and canned air

spray the crumbs and dust off the keyboard with the canned air, then saturate the cotton bulb of a qtip and run it around the edges of your keys and any other nooks and crannies, then put more alcohol on a microfiber cloth and run it across your whole keyboard

The "china" cycle in your dishwasher

Nimil Thanks! Do you recommend any specific kind of alcohol? Preferably something that's not too harsh on the material lol.

Sin : nah just regular old isopropyl is what my dad always used to clean electronics. i don't trust any other kinds of cleaners.

my dad was an electronics repair person from the time i was little to the time i was 18 so i learned all my electronics care from him

yeah plain old isopropyl, the same kind you'd use on cuts and stuff

i have taken the keyboard apart and cleaned it but the connections can be tricky. On th eplus side most laptop keyboards (minus apple) are inexpensive now, 30 dollars at the most, i've picked up some for 11 (depends on backlighting)

Nimil kesseret Thanks guys!

This is my main work computer at the moment so I'm not brave enough to try and take anything apart right now lol.

I can't remember where I got it at the moment, but there's a keyboard tool for laptops that has a silicone pointed brush at one end, great for working out dust and such in corners and crevices.

Lick it

Beef I think that would make matters worse tho

Works for cats.

Beef : until they upchuck

Then don't puke on it!
