BillyVance 34 #1 May 10, 2008 I remember seeing an article a couple weeks ago online about how a dirty keyboard, if not cleaned regularly, can harbor just as many germs as a toilet. Well this morning I got frustrated with the computer freezing up and flipped the keyboard up at the monitor, popping several keys out. Holy fucking shit batman! What the fuck is all that shit below the keys??!?!? Yep, way past time to clean it out. Unplugged it and took it out to the kitchen sink. With an old toothbrush and Clorox wipes, I went to work, pulling out every key in groups and wiping each one down. I scrubbed all the crap in the keyboard which included cat hair, possibly dead fleas and flea shit and other ugly icky stuff. Wiped it all down again with clorox, and popped all the keys back in place. Good as new. If you haven't cleaned your keyboard in years, you might be surprised what's in there.

I found $1.61 in loose change, my car keys, two pair of cheap sunglasses (one broken), and a hubcap from a 1959 Caddy. I've been looking for those car keys. Good tip. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

micduran 0 #9 May 12, 2008 I work from home and eat 90% of my meals while working. I can probably feed a small country with the crumbs in my keyboard. Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #10 May 13, 2008 I have heard of people regularly putting them keys side down on the dishwasher. You have to let it air dry completely so it won't short out when you plug it back in. Here's a bunch of articles: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=keyboard+dishwasherArrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #11 May 13, 2008 BTW - I clean my Oakleys and my watch in the dishwasher. I turn off the heated dry feature and make sure the load is not full or covered with food garbage. The grime on the back of the watch comes off and the oil comes off of the Oakleys. Thank you Kenmore!Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
