How to Clean and Sanitize Your Computer Keyboard

The Deep Clean Routine

First, unplug your keyboard or turn off your laptop. Turn the device upside down and give it a gentle shake to dislodge loose debris. Use a can of compressed air, holding it at an angle to blow out the dust trapped between the keys.

Safe Sanitization

To sanitize, use a lightly dampened microfiber cloth with a small amount of 70% isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the tops of the keys and the surrounding chassis. Never use liquid cleaners directly on the keyboard to avoid shorting out the internal circuitry. Let it air dry completely before reconnecting power.
