properly taken care of. Stores sell compressed air and cleaning products to help
you clean your keyboard. Many people have their own way of cleaning their
keyboards, but most people usually just flip it upside down and shake it. Those
who do spend money on compressed air or cleaning products, you are wasting money
and time. Compressed air won't always give you a thorough clean because most of
the dirt is trapped underneath the keys. The air does blow out some dirt;
however it creates more of a mess for you to clean up.
In this guide I will show
you how to thoroughly clean you keyboard with some simple household items. When
you reach the end of this guide, your keyboard should look as clean as it was
the day you bought it. A quick reminder for everyone who follows
this guide: I cannot be held liable for any damage that is done to your
keyboard. If you follow the directions and do it correctly and carefully, your
keyboard will work perfectly fine.
First, shutdown your computer and unplug the keyboard.
Remember which socket you unplugged the keyboard from so that you can easily
plug it back in. Next, I suggest you find an open area to work; one that is not
crowded.
Now, take a picture of your keyboard or write down where the
keys are located. You will need this as your reference when putting the keys
back in the keyboard, unless you have a photographic memory?
