How to clean a computer keyboard


Ensure you have a can of compressed air (available from Dick Smith Electronics or Officeworks), a soft clean, a nonabrasive household cleaning fluid suitable for cleaning plastic and a dust mask if you're allergic to dust. Also ensure you check the owner�s manual to see if the manufacturer has provided specific instructions. It is also best the computer is shut down and the keyboard is disconnected:
  1. Use compressed air to clean between the keys. Spray at an angle to dislodge dust and grime. 
  2. Shake loose dust gently out of the keyboard.
  3. Spray a small amount of the nonabrasive household cleaning fluid onto a cloth.
  4. Wipe the keys and chassis.
  5. Once the keyboard is dry, reconnect it to the computer.
