what is the best way to clean the pc keyboard ?

Question

How to remove the dust between the keys ?

Answer 1

The best way to clean a keyboard is using compressed air, from a can from any hardware store, or a compressor.
Another is to use the drapery attachment on your vacuum cleaner.
You can use a lightly damp, (almost dry), cloth to wash off the tops of keys. Do Not let water run down between keys. Be sure the keyboard is unplugged before using water. When using water on any part of your computer be sure that the ground plug is working or better yet unplug the machine to be on the safe side. Remember your computer is also an electric appliance. Water and electricity don't mix.
And Never Use Water Inside Your Computer.

If you have a good sense of keyboarding experience (or a poloroid with with to take a reference picture) make sure you know where the keys go and snap remove all of them. They snap out fairly easily and you can do this with something as common as a butter knife. Don't worry about being gentle, just make sure you don't lose any of the keys. Once you've got this done, take and either whipe down the keyboard with a moist wash clothe, or blow it with compressed air. If you don't have compressed air, a hair dryer will work fine.

For a real challenge, and a nice converstation piece, you can take your current keyboard and make a nice flat surface one with no keys. I did it using affordable materials and it all came in at less than $15. The finished product looks almost like a picture of a keyboard, but works similar to the dancing pad of a DDR game or a touch screen display. Easy to do, just make sure you keep note of which combinations do what. There are typically 25 prongs connection your chip (usaully found under your keyboard lights, fairly small and simple chip) to the insert (the peice of plastic circitry which runs wire combinations out to your keys). The rest is fairly simple, just print out your display (what people will see when they look at the keyboard) and attach it to a thin sheet of plexy glass (there is where your $15 come in, lol). Attach some metal plates to the buttons spaces on the underside of your print out (these can be aluminum foil, lol, mine are) and run the need wires to those and the adjacent plates on your base. Make to to where when a bit of light pressure is applyed to the top plate, it contacts the bottom plate thus completing your circut. A simple bit of thin foam with holes in it does this trick nicely and is even what they use in the DDR dance pads. It takes time patience and good note taking, but the end result is a beautiful custom keyboard that you never have to clean and is completely silent.

The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK

Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:
Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.

Then begin by;
delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.

goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions

goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.

Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.

Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.

Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.

Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.


Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:

dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories

Check the 'dir' command for all parameters

Answer 4

I use Dust Off [cans of compressed air], keyboard cleaning brush and a Swiffer.
Atleast once per week.

Answer 5

who has the money to buy "compressed air".
Sounds like something everyone can sell on ebay. I knew a guy who crumpled a piece of grey paper and sold it on eBay for a nice tidy sum (yes, someone bought it)....and I knew someone who sold pocket lint (and, of course the potato chip or sandwich picture people).

Dust between the keys?...well take a deep breath and blow....or dismantle it and clean it all with rubbing alcohol....(the keys even snap off) or pay your friendly person at the computer store to do it for you.

Answer 6

haha oh expensive. nicely, at comp shops (place of work depot, fry's, etc) they sell assorted cleansing beverages. i take advantage of all purpose cleanser blended with fairly water and it sort of feels to do the interest distinctly lots. If the grease have been given down contained in the keyboard, you may ought to get rid of a few keys, yet whilst no longer, paper towels and a mix of all purpose cleanser with water would desire to do the trick. :)
