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.
