How to clean the dust and stains in the gaps of the keyboard?

Computers have now become an essential tool in every home, because computers not only allow us to understand more about the outside world, but can also be used for leisure and entertainment. Laptops are okay in that they don’t get dirty easily even if you use them for a long time, but the opposite is true for desktop computers. Especially some boys, not only do they not clean their desktop computers, but they also do not clean their keyboards. So, how to clean the dust and stains in the gaps of the keyboard?

1. Tap the keyboard to remove debris

With the desktop computer turned off, remove the keyboard from the host, turn the keyboard upside down, and tap and shake it. It is best to put an old newspaper on the table to make it easier to clean. During the tapping process, debris in the keyboard will fall out, such as biscuit crumbs, hair, etc. When tapping the laptop, you need to turn it sideways and be sure to tap the keyboard gently. Blowing and patting can be done alternately, and doing it twice can be more thorough.

2. Scrub the surface

Use a soft cloth dipped in diluted detergent to wipe the surface of the keys. Please note that the soft cloth should not be too wet. Then use the vacuum cleaner's dust brush to vacuum the keyboard again to remove any missed residues.

3. Disinfection

Keyboards are the easiest place for viruses to hide, so disinfect them regularly. First, wipe the surface of the keyboard clean with a soft cloth, then dip it in alcohol or disinfectant for disinfection, and finally wipe the surface of the keyboard dry with a dry cloth. Be sure not to get the cloth too wet to prevent water droplets from entering the keyboard. Experts remind you: White-collar workers are in close contact with keyboards every day, so don’t pretend that bacteria never exist. Scientific research shows that "the bacteria content on computer keyboards is five times that of toilet seats." This can make you feel uneasy, so we should clean our keyboards regularly to make our office life healthier.
