How do I clean my keyboard?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To clean my keyboard, I like to use cotton swabs. They are perfect for getting into those hard-to-reach places between the keys. I find that wiping carefully and slowly is the key to removing excess dust effectively.

First, I make sure to turn off my computer and unplug the keyboard. This is important to prevent any accidental damage or electrical issues. Safety first, right?

Next, I take a close look at my keyboard and identify any areas that seem particularly dusty or dirty. I usually start by running the cotton swab between each key, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. It’s amazing how much dust can accumulate in those spaces!

I also like to wipe across the tops and bottoms of the keys to remove any additional dust or grime. It’s a meticulous process, but I find it really satisfying to see my keyboard looking clean and fresh again.

I make sure to be gentle while cleaning, as I don’t want to accidentally dislodge any keys or cause any damage. Slow and steady wins the race, as they say.

I recommend performing this cleaning ritual every 1 to 3 months, depending on how often you use your keyboard. If you have multiple keyboards that you regularly use, don’t forget to clean all of them. It’s easy to overlook the ones we use less frequently, but they deserve some TLC too.

Cleaning my keyboard involves using cotton swabs to carefully and slowly wipe away excess dust. It’s a simple yet effective method that keeps my keyboard in tip-top shape. So grab those cotton swabs and get cleaning!
