A vacuum cleaner can also be used, but make sure the keyboard does not have loose “pop off” keys can be sucked up by the vacuum. After the dust, dirt, and hair have been removed. Spray a disinfectant onto a cloth or use disinfectant cloths and rub each of the keys on the keyboard. Never spray any liquid onto the keyboard.
Cleaning Results and Quality
The keyboard and keys are cleaned with an aqueous base industry approved cleaning solution. All marks which are practicable to remove will be removed. we aim to restore the equipment as closely as possible (and within the bounds of reasonable practicability) to its original condition and appearance.
Complete achievement (if achievable) of this will usually take two or three cleans. Obviously, the degree of success will depend on the age of the keyboard and the degree of abuse to which it has been subjected. Generally, we would expect to remove biro marks, sticky labels, and other marks which have not permanently damaged the sub-structure.
Keyboard Cleaning Tip
If you spill a liquid onto your keyboard, disconnect the keyboard, turn it upside down and shake it gently to get as much liquid out of the keyboard as you can. With the keyboard turned upside down use a paper towel or cloth moistened with water and try to wipe off the top of the keyboard. Let the keyboard sit upside down overnight to dry off.
