Cleaning Your Keyboard

[Xix]

Have a dirty or sticky keyboard? Try out my guide see the difference once finished with these 6 easy steps

This is what you will need:
lint free cloth
cotton swabs
can of compressed air or vacuum cleaner
flat tip screwdriver or a tong
pinch of water OR 1 part water - 1 part alcohol (denatured)*

#1 Shutdown, unplug computer & keyboard.

#2 Using the screwdriver, gently remove keys (don't forget to make note of their position - better yet take a photo & print out beforehand) if you have more than one keyboard, use that as your guide, as I did.

#3 Use compressed air to remove dust & debris from keyboard.

#4 Clean keyboard with slightly damp cloth or cotton swab (do not put liquid directly on keyboard!) I dipped cotton swab, then squeezed out excess liquid.

#5 Clean each key individually (slightly damp cotton cloth).

#6 Replace keys (nothing should be wet or damp).
Heres a map of were the keys should go;

Some pictures would help?

Pictures do more than you think. I think that pictures are necessary, whether its just showing a picture of a keyboard, or what you use to clean it.

I am more of a visual learner, so pictures help out a lot. They add detail and show how it should be done. I think this guide, is lacking detail, which can be provided with pictures, and just some more information.

I would give it a 6/10. Add some more details, and some pictures of the items you need, and I would rate higher because it is a good and helpful topic.

You can also buy a can of air to blow out dust etc from beneath the keys.

 

[Xix]

Yes you can, but that still won't get all the dust and dirt out as much as removing the keys.

I don't mean to be rude, but I dont really think pictures for this would be necessary.
It's pretty straight-forward, you'd have to be challenged not to be able to do this without pictures.

How are pictures not necessary, they are always helpful.

 

[Xix]

Well I've post many pics? Do they help?

If a keyboard is that dirty and messed up... I would just buy a new one for 20 bucks.. unless its on your laptop.

Now that you got pictures I would rate the guide 8.5/10.

Good Guide.
