“It is shocking how much stuff comes out of there. “This is not a step to be skipped,” Maker says. When they fall out, sweep them up and send them packing. It’s important to do this process top to bottom, ensuring that crumbs and dust fall out instead of getting lodged in a forgotten corner. (For external keyboards, a toothbrush alone works just fine for this step, but compressed air will be gentler on laptops.) “If you have compressed air, you can start doing short blasts from top to bottom to squeeze any of those crumbs out of the areas between keys.” Now, use a clean toothbrush to sweep out larger or stubborn debris in short strokes.

❗Always shut down your computer before cleaning any parts. For laptops, aim for a 75-degree angle, per Apple’s website. Then, “start by taking the keyboard and tilting it up on its short side, straight up, over a flat surface,” Maker explains. External keyboards should be disconnected from your computer completely. To play it safe, make sure you shut your computer down first. Some of this equipment is interchangeable-a soft toothbrush can fill in for compressed air, for example-but it’s best to have all of it at hand, just in case. Keyboard cleaning only takes a few household items, according to Maker. What equipment do I need to clean my keyboard? It might even work better after a bit of elbow grease. The day is young but, this will certainly be the best laugh I've had yet.Whether your keyboard has seen one too many desk lunches or your laptop is about to become your de facto office (looking at you, people stuck working from home), this cleaning technique only takes a few minutes and will leave your keyboard squeaky clean. I may never watch 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' the same way again. Message #8 Posted by Matt Agajanian on, 7:50 a.m.,Īre you serious?!?! Maybe I should tell Nia Vardalos' dad (yes, 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding') that not only does Windex(R) will cure anything from psoriasis to poison ivy, it cleans up calculator keyboards quite well. In response to message #6 by Matt AgajanianĪ Q tip moistened with Windex works well for cleaning the faceplate between the keys. Message #7 Posted by Nick R on, 3:17 a.m., So, what's the consensus on the liquid I should use and the dampness of the cloth? By the way, wouldn't using a cotton swab be prone to leaving strands of cotton behind? In response to message #5 by db (martinez, ca.) Message #6 Posted by Matt Agajanian on, 7:53 p.m., Do it upside down to keep anything from running inside. A soft toothbrush and the cleaning solution of your choice will take longer but not leave rows of X marks in the paint between your keys. They're likely to drag any dust that's in the grease along the surface of the painted faceplate and leave a bunch of tiny parallel scratches in it. I'd avoid using cloth or cotton swabs - at least till it's pretty clean. Message #5 Posted by db (martinez, ca.) on, 7:22 p.m.,

More than one way to skin a calculator (. After cleaning leave it face down on a dry cloth for 30 mins or so until dry. When I clean the keyboard, I hold it face down this way no liquid would go inside the keyboard. In response to message #3 by Matt Agajanian Message #4 Posted by Kerem Kapkin (Silicon Valley, CA) on, 7:08 p.m., The other idea I was going to consider was the iKlear (R) Computer monitor/keyboard cleaning fluid & its accompanying cloth.

I was mulling it over and was discounting the idea of an EXTREMELY SLIGHT damp cloth. In response to message #2 by Kerem Kapkin (Silicon Valley, CA) Message #3 Posted by Matt Agajanian on, 6:49 p.m., I had good success using lens (eye glasses) cleaning solution with lens cleaning cloth and with cotton swaps for cleaning on and around the keys. In response to message #1 by Matt Agajanian Message #2 Posted by Kerem Kapkin (Silicon Valley, CA) on, 6:36 p.m., Re: Keyboard Cleanup for a Spice (or any other HP) In order to just clean the surface and keys of the HP calculator keyboard of the usual, dust, specs of case residue, etc without disassembling the calc, what would you recommend for cleaning the keys and faceplate of the calculator?
