Bleeding Rose Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Use Lysol disinfecting wipes and Cyberclean which you can get at Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 :troll:.but seriously, best way would probably be some baking soda and water on a damp (not dripping wet) rag and WIPE it on and off. DO NOT POUR for the exterior. i would soak the individual keys in the same mix and even use some q-tips to clean underneath the keys if you want to get neurotic. popping the keys out is not a big deal if you only do a few at a time. power down the device first (duh). pick up a can of compressed air and hit the keyboard with that. im willing to bet 90% of your problem is small debris working their way underneath said keys.

Administrator Lite Posted March 24, 2012 Administrator Share Posted March 24, 2012 How did you get a picture of my keyboard? :o ----------- On a serious note, i clean my keyboard on a weekly basis with compressed air and anti-bacterial wipes. Looks like new :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a regular practice the keyboard doesn't need more serious cleaning. However, for a more thorough clean-up job I use the vacuum on blower mode to just blast off stubborn particles. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezza Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 You could use an expensive specialist cleaning utility as below or the cheaper option, give it a quick wipe with a cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
