If never was the last time you cleaned your laptop keyboard, then it’s deep-cleaning time
How To Deep-Clean Your Laptop Keyboard
1. Switch off your laptop
The first thing you should do is switch off your laptop. Never attempt to clean your laptop keyboard with the power on. Shut it down, take off the chords, and move on to the next steps.
2. Invert your laptop
This may sound crazy but if there are any big dirty items stuck between the keys, a nice inverted jerk will throw them out. However, go easy on your laptop. You don’t want to go all Savage on it
3. Get an air compressor can
Get a can of compressed air and tilt your laptop carefully to forty-five degrees in the direction of the nozzle. Don’t stick the tip of the nozzle too close to the crevices in the keys. Use short bursts of air to get the dirt out. You will be surprised to see the things flying out from underneath the keys. Read the safety instructions before you use the air can.
4. Wipe it off
Give your laptop keyboard a good cleaning with wiping it off with a soft clean cloth. You could be more creative and use slime to get the dirt out. Another trick for deep cleaning is to use sticky notes. That ought to do it.
Try this too:
USB Vacuum: Yes, there is such a nifty thing that will suck all the debris out of your laptop. And, it’s pretty cheap too.
Air blaster: Prefer air blasters over the can of compressed air as it contains toxic elements that are released into the air on use. This is a non-toxic and environmentally-friendly option. So, it’s fun to use.
Whatever you do, just don’t clean your laptop like her.
