How to clean a dirty keyboard


Have you ever spilled coffee on your keyboard and some of the keys are getting stuck when you
press them? Or have you been using it for a while, and a lot of dust and dirt got between the
keys? It's very easy to clean your keyboard.

1. Shutdown your computer, disconnect keyboard and connect a temporary replacement keyboard
2. Hold keyboard keys down and shake it few times so that some dust and dirt come out before
washing it
3. Take keyboard to the bathroom
4. Turn on the tap (water can be worm or cold but not hot)
5. Put keyboard under water and wash it properly, turn it upside down while under water few
times, press some keys etc
6. Once finished washing shake keyboard to get most of the water out
7. Dry for few days, make sure it's dry before connecting back to your computer

That's it, your keyboard will be as new now.
