  What do you guys use to clean your white keyboards? Imagine a teeth without getting brushed and getting brown because of the nicotines...Thats how my keyboard looks like now..

  My dad (painter) gets his white keyboard all nasty too– I clean it once a month for him. Just take some paper towels and wet them a little and rub off with dry towels. If you need to, use a little dish soap.

  pop all the keys off and wash them in luke warm water, put them under the airgun to dry.

  wipe out the clear holder with a rag, and if you're like me and somehow tried to give your keyboard osmosis, spent a lot of time doing this.

  • Only necessary if you let shit pile up under the keys, which I guess is pretty likely.– ismith

  Q TIPS + RUBBING ALCOHOL or WINDEX

  • YES– moamoa1/3

    alcohol will eventually wear the printing off the keys tho– acescence2/3

    shouldn't be staring at your keys anyways. plus, it will keep those unwanted people off of your compy.– Point53/3

  This thread is why I love the new Mac keyboards. There's no space for anything to get underneath anything.

  • Agreed, I really need to get one just for that reason.– ismith

  This Coudal video looks bogus to me.. They didn't show sealing the keyboard, only the USB plug. You need to unscrew the whole thing, there's a whole lots of breadcrumbs beneath!

  I have an iSkin keyboard cover:

  And a Macally Bookpad for the wrist area:
  http://eshop.macsales.com/search…
  (I use black now because the white one reveals dirt quickly)

  Plus an outer shell.

  I need my Macbook to be relatively clean at all times (some OCD in play there), and I didn't want to spend extra for the black Macbook. At least my Macbook would look new if I removed the covers.

  Oh, I forgot to mention! Whether or not I have the covers on, I always use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Works well.

  "Dust off" I think it's called.

  • Yep. It's bad for laptops though if they're not completely shielded since it causes bad static.– ismith
