LazlowsucksiloveslutS Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 What are the chances of me ever getting the keyboard clean again? Would compressed air help? Having used a few cans in the past they had this watery stuff coming out, Iäm afraid it might f*ck something up. Wet cloth definitely isn't safe? Or shall I try it? I would like to get rid of the grease and smell- These were some chili taste chips too. What shall I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOUGL4S1 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Wash it with detergent and a clean sponge and rinse it with water. Should at least look as good as new. Crossbones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Time Ranger Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Maybe a light brushing with a toothbrush might help, for the smell I don't know. LazlowsucksiloveslutS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuke Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) For in between buttons use microfiber eyelashes extention applicators. If you want to remove grease or other accumulated body fluids just dip the tip in some isopropyl alcohol/rubbing alcohol, hold the laptop upside down and use a can of compressed air on it afterwards. Keep the can straight. That's no water that comes out of it, that's gas in liquid form which will vaporize in seconds and it's really cold. This will likely come out as a liquid if you don't keep the can straight up. Buy/Use a screen cleaner for your screen/keyboard. I highly suggest wiping it with a microfiber towel/cloth. It will smell better afterwards as there will be less bacteria. If you want to make it smell really good I suggest squirting some of your favourite perfume on a piece of paper, put it on your keyboard, close it for the night and the next time you open it, it will smell great for quite a while if you use a great perfume, or like cheap deodorant if that's all you got. Still better then a mix of chili/semen/feces/skin grease. Edited June 9, 2019 by HeavyDuke LazlowsucksiloveslutS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblebud Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 You could....very lightly wipe the keys with disinfectant wipes. HeavyDuke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazlowsucksiloveslutS Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 I know I f*cked up, But where can I get isopropyl alcohol? Do they sell it at grocery stores or drug store? Can I get it from electronics shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise its also in brake cleaner, chain cleaner and carb cleaner. Don't spray it directly on your keyboard though, it could solve the white letters writen on your keyboard.

LeslieFromTheShoIntimacy Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Haven’t seen a thread like this since the early 2000’s, but thanks for the laugh. Tbh I think you had the right idea with compressed air. I wouldn’t want to put brake cleaner or carb cleaner anywhere near my computer. Compressed air shouldn’t have “watery stuff” coming out.. I suppose it could be propellant that might have settled from sitting for a long time, but maybe try another brand of compressed air?

Guest Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 i was trying to think of some sort of witty sarcastic response to this thread but im mostly perplexed that even thinking of a rudimentary method to clean a keyboard is somehow eluding you LeslieFromTheShoIntimacy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Billy Russo Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Save the bits until later. Can't beat crusty keyboard crisps. Yes they are crisps, not chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuke Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 So got it clean and stink free? Or did you end up eating laptop while using chips? Rumblebud and Mister Pink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Pink Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Thing about using compressed air is that you don't want so further blast more particles in to your keyboard. I would try shake off anything I could first. Shake it upside down so the crumbs fall out. Then I might even run a vacuum cleaner over it to get some more. Obviously be careful of the suction power. You don't want to rip the keys out. Only after that, would I use compressed air. After the most of the crumbs and bits are gone, I would use alcohol wipes. Something like these will work.

Syrens Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I've actually put my laptop keyboard into the dish washer before. Worked brilliantly in fairness. Is it a laptop/USB/wireless keyboard though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straypuft Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 For future snackings, learn how to use chopsticks, it should be less greasy and you make your snack last longer since you cant shove a handful into your mouth at a time.(Ive only done this with popcorn but should work with any snack) Signed: A Serial Snacker.
