    Most laptop key boards can be removed pretty easily. Just look up how to do so on the manufacturer's website or in the owners manual. Once removed you can easily clean it. Just make sure it is dry before replacing. Rubbing alcohol is a good cleaning medium.

    Good advice

    No water, no soap. I know that much.

    You can also pop the keys of the keyboard off but you have to be very careful doing that.


    and if you do this, remember to put them back on in the right okace. i mean "place"

    But I like to create challenges for my children. It keeps them on their toes. I may have to rearrange all the letters, just for fun!

    We may or may not have had a similar incident with sweet chili sauce. We had to individually pop off each key on the entire key board and clean them very well using various q-tips, paper towels, rubbing alcohol, etc. That stuff is really sticky and spreadout all over the keyboard.

    eta: q-tips work really well :)

    Get some lysol whipes and call it good. Other then that, pray. And hope it has the warrenty/insurance on it. Maybe the geek squad at your local best buy can help if it's truely amiss.

    tongue?

    It's my daughter's keyboard. Do you ever "really" know where your kids hands have been?


    I don't WANT to know where my son's hands have been... gross

    I have a ThinkPad, so I'd just take the keyboard off and clean it up with some hot soapy water (use Dawn) , rinse it really well under hot running water, then hit it with a blowdryer for a bit ... but ... not everyone has a ThinkPad.

    thats hysterical! my husband kept saying, i cant get into your email. why not? did you change your password? nope. i got home and he was pressing the wrong keys. the ones i use all the time of course the letters were almost gone. the keys are in the same place they have been forever! thanks to my typing class in high school i know that but he uses the hunt n peck method!
