When you are finished, set the keyboard aside for 20 minutes or so that it can dry out, and then reconnect it to your computer! If you hit a spot that doesn’t come out easily, don’t switch materials: Instead apply increased pressure until it is slowly removed.Īpple keyboards are generally quite easy to clean and you should be able to get all the stains off. Obviously, you will want to pay close attention to the keys themselves and the space between them, where most of the grime tends to gather. Get your clean cloth a little damp with water, and thoroughly wash the outside of your keyboard. You really don’t want to use any cloth that can build up a static charge while you are cleaning your electronics, since there’s a chance it could damage sensitive components. Second, lint is often a sign of some static charge. The lint-free part is important for two reasons.įirst, little bits of lint can get caught around your keys or maybe even trapped underneath some keys, which can cause additional problems. Instead, pick out a clean, lint-free cloth for your work. These could rub off the letters on your keys and cause other damage, which is never cool. A small bowl is all you need, or a nearby faucet.ĭon’t use anything abrasive on your keyboard – so stay away from hard sponges and any rough “scrubbing” materials. There’s a chance they could seep down into your keyboard and damage delicate components waiting there (this is also a good reason to try to avoid spilling anything on your keyboard). Don’t use any cleaner, natural or store-bought. Likewise, stay away from solvents, acids, and basically any chemicals. It may seem counter-intuitive, but you shouldn’t use any cleaners on your Apple keyboard. Turn your keyboard upside over the trash and give it a light shake to remove any obvious bits of debris. If you use one of Apple’s wireless keyboards, remember to remove the batteries first and set them aside before you begin. Unplug your keyboard first for safety – in fact, it’s a good idea if you take your keyboard away from your desk entirely so you won’t bump or damage your other accessories by accident.
