How to Clean Your Keyboard and Much More


Read this article to know how to clean your keyboard, TV, stereo, and other electronics and office equipment.
Steps:
1. The first thing you should do is unplug your keyboard, then get a can of compressed air and blow debris off the top of your keyboard. Next you should get some q-tips and isopropyl alcohol and clean off the keyboard.
2. The second thing to do to clean a keyboard is to get a screwdriver or some needle-nose pliers and start prying the keys off your keyboard. You should be careful; putting too much force on the keys could break them.
3. After you have taken all the keys off, you can use a can of compressed air to blow the dust/dirt off the inside of your keyboard.
4. If you have spilled a liquid on your keyboard, the best thing to do is get some q-tips and isopropyl alcohol and clean away.
5. Once you are finished cleaning, let your keyboard air dry. Replace the keys on your keyboard, making sure you put them back in the right place.
Tips:
1. A good idea is to not take off the space bar, it is harder to get back on and easier to break.
2. If you forget the order in which the keys on your keyboard go, simply boot up your computer. Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>On Screen Keyboard. This will give you a keyboard on the screen, which you can simply copy the order of letters/numbers/characters from.
Warnings:
1. Do not spray the compressed air when it is upside down; a liquid comes out that can potentially cause frostbite.
2. Do not get isopropyl alcohol, Q-tips, or the screwdriver in your eyes.
