How To Clean Your Computer Keyboard

Turn the keyboard right-side up and rest on a flat surface. Slide the tip of a flathead screwdriver under the bottom left key, pry it free, and soak in a bowl of soapy water. Repeat with the rest of the small keys. Leave the larger keys – such as the space bar, enter, and shift – since they’re harder to reattach.

Rinse the keys individually in fresh water and lay them on a towel to air-dry. Let the keys dry for 24 hours.

Take a can of compressed air and spray the entire keyboard shell.

Dip the end of a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and run it along the board, making sure to reach all the nooks and crannies.

When the keys have dried completely, reassemble the keyboard by snapping each key back into place.

Your keyboard looks like new! To help keep it clean, wash your hands before each use and never eat or drink while typing.
