Now if that was a laptop keyboard..... :D

.... if that was a laptop keyboard .. :eek: .. it would drown !!

Why do I feel like a freshman in high school and you guys are trying to sell me an elevator pass?

You don't REALLY put them in the dishwasher do you? I am just absolutely terrible on keyboards.... right now I see coffee spots, crumbs, ashes, fingernail polish, and accumulated dirt.... I usually just toss them every few months and get a new one.. they're so cheap now. But I do keep the cans of air around to blow out the debris every so often.

Yes
 

This is not a joke--it really works...try it on a keyboard you don't mind trashing first if you don't believe us :)

Gosh if this works, I could get a decent keyboard - instead of the $9 ones I treat as disposable. I have 3 'retired' ones around here somewhere in a box.. I may be a sucker - but I'm gonna try it... :D

Hold key board upside down & use canned air to blow stuff out from under keys. Rubbing alcohol works good on top.

Had a key board be underwater for 24 hrs & still work. I've used sink sprayer, but never dishwasher. Do you all use pots & pans or lite wash cycle?? Heat dry or air dry??

Be sure to unplug first if using water to clean. :eek:

Son washed his shirt in dishwasher a few times. The apt. laundry cost $$, however the dishwasher in his apt. didn't. A relative will mention shirts in dishwasher at every reunion. :p :p

Buy new one via your preferred carrier's link & get miles!

The local freshmen soon learn there is no swimming pool on the 3rd floor.

Well, a few didn't learn until they were sophomores ~ they're the same ones that slow down the security line. :D

It works on cheap keyboards. I don't know if anyone has tried it on a really nice one :)

In the Armed Forces, we used trichloroethylene, which also seems toxic to one's liver and penetrates into the water supply. Whoops, you DO NOT want to do that!

OTOH, we also used the common cleaner - degreaser "409" on many electronic components, afterward drying with comrpessed air. Still works pretty well.

One time I was doing mandatory training in Si Valley, and a reasonably passive-aggressive guy dumped a half-can of Coca Cola into my laptop keyboard. Forget it, sugar will revert to carbon, and the citric and carbonic acid... time to visit eBay and buy a replacement keybaord, $20 or so, and it worked fine. He also had to sit through the entire training, 'cause I don't go away that easily. :D

Not very keyboard is $15, if I have to replace mine I'm out $240...

Go on, tell us which one it is....

Try using alcohol.
Or nail polish remover.

diswasher
 

I just use the lightest cycle available and air dry it.

Our IT guy at work does this too. It really does work!

Just let it dry first.

Yes i REALLY PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER !! always have done - was worried the first time I had it recommended to me (by an IT engineer) but never looked back !!!
