Hi friends, its a very interesting one right? Why i am asking this question is because yesterday was my week off and i was in my house i didn't go out. Then i thought i should do some other work then suddenly i saw my key board which was filled with full of dust because that is a very old key board, my father bought me that key board may be more than 10 years ago. Then i decided to clean that Key Board, starting i tried clean that one by brush but it wasn't clean properly. Then i took Screw Driver and i opened Key Board Screws and i separated the key pad and circuit was there i don't know the name of that circuit. Then i washed it by some kind of a powder mixing with water. Then i dried it up and then i joined it or assembled it. Now my Key Board looks too nice and shiny. Did you try to wash key board once?

I use laptop and I often clean my keyboard with light brush. But sometimes, I use an old rag to clean my keyboard. But I do it very lightly because computer parts are very fragile they can easily get damaged or malfunction and so everything has to be done in a simple way.

Brushing the key board is really a good idea because if you do so then it keeps key board clean and there won't be necessity of washing the key board like what i did it now. I wasn't thought anything, i got irritated by seeing that key board every day, that much of dirty key board was mine. so i washed it.

It's not really something that I do very often. I will sometimes take a wet cloth and just wash my entire computer. I will wash my screen and my keyboard. But I really can't say that I do it very often at all. I really should do it more often than I actually do. It does get dirty rather easily, I have to say.

Yes that is also works but the problem is you can't wash it properly because our hand is not that much of sharp to clean the edges of the key board or else you can't clean the space which is in between the keys. So better you use brush to clean thoroughly.

I rarely do it but when my technician arrives for attending to whatever little problems I would face he cleans up all the peripherals. Because of all the plugs, wires, hanging around I am not so confident to do anything myself.

Sometimes I take something and I brush the dirtiest keys. But for real I don't wash it very well even if my keyboard is very dirty.

The last time I tried to vacuum clean my laptop keyboard, the DEL key was pulled out. And careless as I am, I even lost the key, so I had to install a new keyboard altogether! I just dust my keyboard since then.

Oh my gudness, thank god but i won't do that mistake. What i did is i opened the key board screws and then i cleaned it by pouring water then after cleaning just i dried it up and assembled it as it is. Friend you should take care of the keys other wise it looks very odd.
