People need to stop peeing and pooping on their keyboards.
I have a laptop which means it goes everywhere with me, the screen constantly being adjusted and moved around, and it ends up needing a lot of polishing so I can see. So, whenever I polish the screen, I wipe the keys down too. Simple. But, it's a laptop. If someone dug in between the keys with a swab, I'm sure they could find all sorts of detritus that would grow into something nasty.

Karrie, you can easily pop out the tray that holds the keyboard, allowing you to give it a real cleaning.
oh? how do I go about that?
Out of 33 keyboards swabbed, four were regarded as a potential health hazard and one harboured five times more germs than one of the office's toilet seats.
During the Which? tests in January this year, a microbiologist deemed one of the office's keyboards to be so dirty he ordered it to be removed, quarantined and cleaned.
They also found that, compared to men, on average women have three to four times the amount of germs in, on and around their work area.
Take the model name of your laptop and google "removing keyboard tray from "model name"
Here is a generic guide:

Goto a male washroom and it smells like an outhouse at a beach during low tide..... go into a female's washroom and it's got flowers all over the place, fancy wallpaper which hasn't begun to peel from the stink, nice colorful soaps and just seems like a cleaner environment all together.......
Does this mean female washrooms are so clean because they take their dirt with them to their keyboards?
But, that just takes the keyboard out. It doesn't really make it any easier to clean between the keys. I doubt I can go run it under the tap at that point. :lol:
you can clean it with a light solvent without worrying about frying the motherboard though.
meh. I'll just do the Canadian consumer thing and buy a new one. ;-)
Thanks for that great idea! I could take my keyboard to the gas station and use their air hose!!!!:lol:I blow the crap out of my keyboard every couple weeks with compressed air, keeps it looking clean anyways.
I read somewhere that most keyboards can withstand being washed in a dishwasher
