How often do you clean the keyboard..?

I constantly keep, a two inch pig's haired paint brush beside my CRT, just for such occasions. I'm a smoker, and probably don't need to tell you, that naturally ashes do drop from time to time when I'm typing. This little brush comes in handy, as you can well imagine, and I'd recommend every person that DOES smoke, to keep one close by. So, in answer to your question...I clean my keyboard quite often. As for my screen...I also have a feather duster handy atop the computer desk. The screen gets good going over about once a month with a quick spray of lens cleaner, while at the same time, its housing, the PC tower and keyboard gets gently wiped down with a damp J-Cloth. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) how much dust and smoke film can build up in such a short time. I was at first, but now consider it a must to clean ALL parts, every so often, or whenever necessary. cdrxo

I'm doing it once a month too. I'm using a damp cotton pad to clean it and I'm afraid to have the letters of my keys erased. Any suggestions for better cleaning? What are you using? The color of my keyboard is white and it's very prone to getting dirty. It sucks and I'm just glad I'm the only one using my laptop. Haha. shadow41

Hi, macdingolinger. I usually will clean it when it gets really messy. And that can be once a week. I have used the Pledge wipes to clean the computer screen and keyboard off. It does look more shiner and brand new. It also feels differently though. And it looks 100% better once it is all cleaned up! I can see the computer screen more clearer now. Cleaning off the computer does great wonders!

I think keyboards are one of those components that get dusty pretty easily. Keyboards should be regularly be cleaned so that its life could have been longer. I clean my keyboard every week or two.

Hi,I am new here.I am a student and I am so busy.So I only clean my keyboard during the holidays.I have a reelly keyboard skin,so I can clean the skin only and it's very easy.

Never... Recently I found the 'Y' of my keyboard is not good as uasual. It seems something inside or under the botton, what can I do?

Depends on what we are talking about. I usually just clean my screen (laptop or PC) whenever it looks dirty or dusty or anything like that. But the keyboard is a whole different thing. I haven't cleaned my laptop keyboard mainly because I'm kinda scared of taking off all the buttons.. I might break something by mistake and I don't really wanna do that. As for my PC. Well, I don't really use it that often anymore so I can't really say that I would feel like cleaning it. Its actually pretty dirty but I'm simply too lazy to clean it..

I usually clean it once a week when I'm dusting and cleaning my house. The keyboard collects so much dust in such a little bit of time.

hi friend.i keep my keyboard and pc neat and clean on daily basis.i love my things and i personally care for it.if you keep your things clean it will go for long time.i just love my things and i take personal care of them.

i clean my keyboard once in every 2 months only when i see too much dirt on it.I even read an article showing the importance of cleaning keyboard because many hidden germs are there.

I hardly ever do. Although, I do it more frequently than I once would. My old keyboard, it was really gross. lol This one I clean about once a month.

i actually do not clean my keyboard! yikes!! i have a silicon cover for it though.. i think that it's not dirty at all... but i wipe the screen only when i see dust on it.. huhuhuu.. i sound so irresponsible. this serves as an eye opener for me and a reminder... i really have to take care of my laptop. just a thought.. thanks macdingolinger!

Well the laptop keyboard is that which should be kept very clean. Because once dust accumulates on the keyboard then it is very hard to get rid of it. We can't reach the cleaning tool under the laptop keyboard. The only possible way to clean that is by opening the laptop or using mini vacuum cleaner. So in my view the laptop keyboard should be cleaned everyday.
