Laptop parts accumulate dust and grime like nobody’s business so a burst of clean air can improve the level of hygiene and functionality of your keyboard.

If your laptop parts, including your keyboard, are in a sorry state, you may have to prepare for some serious deep cleansing. If you’ve managed to mar your laptop parts with a nasty dose of stickiness you’ll need to set about disassembling the keyboard by removing all the keys (making note of where they all came from in the first place!)  and swabbing the under-layer before cleaning all the other keys and elements thoroughly. Kitchen cleaner spray is usually your best bet when cleaning the individual keys.
