Let’s face it, laptop keys take the brunt of it. They typically feel the after-effects of breakfast muffin or bagel crumbs, take the occasional juice or wine spill, and then there’s the city dust and smoke that layer over it. Why not give your keyboard its own manicure? After all, your fingers touch it all the time and if not for your keyboard, at least do it for yourself.
At the worst, your keyboard may stop working which would require a laptop keyboard replacement. At an even worse case scenario, a laptop keyboard liquid spill could render your whole laptop useless.
Here’s how to perform laptop keyboard maintenance to prevent computer issues:
- A squirt of fantastic. Put it on a paper towel and lightly clean the keys. You’ll be amazed at the dust clean-up.
- WD-40. Sure, just a dab and your keys will be looking shiny and brand new again.
- Use a silicone keyboard cover. This is a great way to guard against spills and heavy crumb falls.
