Turn off your computer (so you won't hurt anything). Then, run your rag over keyboard. Use rag to get in between cracks. You can also use Clorox bleach clothes to keep your keys and mouse clean and disinfected.

Turn the Keyboard over and support it at an angle and pond on the back side. You will be amazed at what comes out.

Department stores such as Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and K-Mart, sell air cans. They have a thin straw that you can attach to the nozzle to get out any dust that you may have in your keyboard. The can looks like an aerosol can.

How to clean your keyboardHere are some tips and tricks for cleaning your keyboard:
  • For a quick clean, dump out the debris from under the keys and spray compressed air into the keyboard. Compressed gas ("canned air") works well. You can get it at office supply stores.
  • For a more thorough clean, remove your keys and use cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol to remove dust from below all the keys.
  • Put it in the dishwasher. Do not use the 'heat' setting. When the cycle is complete, take the keyboard out and stand on edge for 2-3 days. I like to put mine on a table, under a ceiling fan. Usually dry in 2 days.
  • Baby wipes are another way to quickly and easily clean your keyboard. Don't press too hard.

It is so easy to clean your keyboard.

1: turn of computer/laptop and unplug you keyboard (if it is a laptop don't worry about unplugging your keyboard just unplug all leads from your laptop.)

2:get a cloth and wet it, then drain nearly all the water (just till it is dry enough it will not drip but is still wet.

3:just wipe it.

It is very difficult to clean a computer keyboard by hand as there is the danger of lifting the keys. One can purchase a can of compressed air from stationary shops. When the spray is directed between the keys, any trapped dirt should come out.

Like any other keyboard, you can pry the keys up, remove gunk, and snap them back on.

Turn it over, give it a few shakes anc then clean it with a can of compressed air, made specifically for this after you do that run a lightly damp cloth over the tops of the keys.
