How to Clean a Keyboard(5)

Tips(2)

5.Laptop keyboards are a bit different. It is not usually necessary to remove keys from a laptop in order to clean it. Isopropyl alcohol and Q-Tips or compressed air is usually enough.

6.The keys on a laptop can be difficult to replace, especially keys like the space bar and the Enter key, which have a seperate support under them that needs to be installed along with the key.

7.If you remove the keys, be sure you know where each one goes. Make a diagram, or print out this page and use it as a reference.

8.If your keyboard has keys not shown in this diagram, make a note of their location.

9.An alternative to compressed air is to use an electric hair dryer with the blower on high. It matters little if the heat is on or off. It's great for dusting too.

Warnings
1.When spraying compressed air, do not turn the can upside down. Doing so can cause liquid propellant to spray into the keyboard, damaging it. Also, be sure to use the compressed air in a well ventilated area.

2.If you remove the keys, keep them away from small children or pets. Loose keys pose a choking hazard.

3.Do not inhale the contents of the canister. This is a gas substance and can seriously hurt, or even kill you.
