Tips from an Expert: How to Clean Your Keyboard Properly

Remove all the keys after photographing their location.

How to clean

Wash the keys separately - in a washing machine or in a bag under running water.

Then wash the bottom of the keyboard under the tap, using a brush to remove any dirt.

Dry everything thoroughly with a blow dryer and put the keyboard back together.

Is it possible to wash the keyboard under water

If you use regular water, there is also a risk that water will get inside the keyboard, which can cause permanent damage.

Additionally, washing the keyboard under running water or immersing it in water may void your warranty, as manufacturers generally do not recommend this cleaning method.

What's the best way to clean your keyboard

Wet wipes with isopropyl alcohol - to remove dirt and plaque, kill bacteria.

Microfiber cloth - to wipe the case and surface of the keys.

A can of compressed air or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to get rid of dust and small debris.

Is it possible to wipe the keyboard with a damp cloth

You can wipe the keyboard with a barely damp cloth.

Avoid excess moisture and do not allow it to get inside the keyboard.

The keys themselves can be cleaned individually - with alcohol, a damp cloth, or even soapy water and detergent.
