How to clean a dirty keyboard ⌨️

My boyfriend wanted to switch his keyboard keycaps but it was so crusty that it needed a deep cleaning 🧼

Products I used: a small vacuum cleaner, Clorox wipes to wipe every keycap, dust cleaner kit and air duster.

It was so dirty that it took me almost an hour to clean it 😭

How often do you clean your keyboards?

... Read moreKeeping your keyboard clean is essential not only for aesthetics but also for hygiene, especially in times when we need to be more mindful of germs. Regularly cleaning your keyboard helps maintain its functionality and prolongs its lifespan. In a typical cleaning session, you might want to start by unplugging the keyboard and shaking it gently to remove loose dust and debris. Using a small vacuum can help in getting into those tight spaces between the keys. For a thorough clean, you can use disinfecting wipes like Clorox to wipe each keycap. These wipes are effective against many viruses and bacteria, ensuring that your workspace remains safe. Additionally, an air duster is invaluable for blowing away dust that is hard to reach. It's important to spray the duster at an angle to avoid moisture buildup. Consider establishing a cleaning routine where you do a quick clean every week and a deep clean at least once a month. This way, you not only keep your keyboard looking good but also ensure that it functions at its best and remains hygienically clean. Don't forget, keeping your workspace tidy can also enhance your productivity!
