Computer keyboards are magnets for oil, dust, grime and bacteria and we touch them all day. The little brushes or compressed air are good maintenance – but chances are your keyboard could use a more thorough treatment once in a while. First, be sure to unplug your laptop or keyboard. Next, you’ll need some cotton swabs and alcohol. Make sure it’s isopropyl and not ethyl. Ethyl alcohol can take the lettering off the keys. You’ll be able to safely get into all the nooks and crannies with the swabs and the alcohol does a great job at dissolving any grime.
If your keys are sticky, it’s a little more tricky. Most keyboard keys will pop off easily with the edge of a small knife – just don’t force them. Now you can get in there with the cotton swab or vacuum out any crumbs and debris. If you’re taking off several keys, you might want to take a picture of your keyboard first to remember the sequence.
