Mac keyboards, especially wireless can be tricky to clean. Here are some tips on how to do it.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Qtips
  • soft rag
  • brush
  • cleaner/alcohol

Step1
Remove the keys using a screwdriver, quarter or emory board. Make sure you either write, draw or take a picture of your keyboard before you take the keys off so you know where to put the keys back.
Step2
At this point you will be amazed at what you have discovered. After you have your fill of looking and identifying each particle use the brush to get rid of all the dust and crumbs and sweep it to the side of the computer and dumb crumbs into trash can.
Step3
Using a soft rag or paper towel and some cleaner wipe off the keyless board. Then wipe down all the keys individually. All 109 of them.
Step4
Put the keys back one at a time as you clean them.
Step5
When done, admire your work. You'll be surprised how satisfying of a task this is when you are done.
