- How long will this take to clean?
- For a quick clean, plan for five minutes each week. For a deep clean, you’ll need at least 30 minutes, plus drying time, to clean a dirty keyboard and mouse.
- How to give your keyboard and mouse a quick clean
- Once a week you should unplug your keyboard, flip it upside down, and shake all the gunk out. Then wipe down the keycaps with a microfiber cloth to remove some of the oils your fingers have left behind.
- For your mouse, wipe it down with a microfiber cloth to remove skin oils. Use compressed air to blow any dust or particles that have accumulated in the seams and the scroll wheel.
- If gunk builds up on the feet of your mouse or keyboard, wipe it off with a microfiber cloth or a cotton swab, and use a toothpick to remove the particularly stubborn bits.
- A deeper clean for mechanical keyboards
- When your keyboard gets too gross—perhaps there’s debris that won’t come out when you shake it, or your keys feel slippery and smooth from hand oils—you’ll need a deeper clean.
- Use a wire keycap puller to carefully remove the keycaps by hooking the tool around the edges of each keycap and gently pulling straight up. Put the keycaps in a sealable container.
- Drop in a couple of denture tabs, or drizzle in a little Dawn soap, and fill the container with hot water. Denture tabs leave less residue, but I don’t always have those around. Seal and gently shake the container, or just swish the keycaps around in the bowl a bit.
- While the keycaps are soaking, use some cotton swabs to dust out any lingering particles under the keycaps, around the switches and the stabilizers. If you have any sticky stains in there, dip the end of a cotton swab in some isopropyl alcohol, and give it a scrub to break up the residue. Don’t use the isopropyl alcohol on any keycaps, on the outside of the keyboard case, or on a mouse—it can damage certain materials.
- After the keycaps have soaked for at least 30 minutes, give them another shake or swish, and then rinse them with clean water three to five times, until there’s no residue or gunk remaining.
