How to Clean a Laptop Keyboard

By: Unknown on 15:35

Laptop keyboards take in a lot of dirt, dust and grime. Occasionally cleaning the keyboard will make your laptop look nicer and preserve its life.

1) Start by turning your machine off.

2) For simple cleaning, tilt your laptop forward.

3) Take the end of a teaspoon and wrap it in a wet-wipe. 

4) Take a vacuum cleaner and run it over the keys. 

5) If you are still having problems, remove your laptop keys. So far, we have avoided doing this because it is time-consuming, annoying and easy to get wrong.

1. Research your laptops brand name and see if you do have keys that can actually be taken off
2. Be careful, because the keys are often held on by fragile plastic tabs. Gently pop them off and store them somewhere safe.
3. Run your wet-wipes over the bare key-board. Q-tips also work well with this, after soaking them in anything that evaporates (rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide) so that you do not get moisture under the keyboard.
4. Pop the keys back on. There will occasionally be keys with metal "stands" on the back - these are easy to slide back into their rails. Other keys will simply require you to depress the corners.
5. You can also wash the keys, but this makes losing keys easier.

6) Finished.

Tips: 

• Dip the keys in alcohol to disinfect them. (Do this only if disinfecting the keys is necessary. Alcohol will remove the printing on most types of keys.)
• Depressing the raised corner will be enough to pop it into place, should you find a loose key during use. They are also visible because they lie at an angle, not parallel to the other keys.
• To pop off keys, use a flat head screwdriver, just make sure not to lift up too hard.
