FAQ: Keyboard Cleaning Made Simple

1. How often should I clean my keyboard?

Quick clean: once a week. Deep clean: every few months or after spills.

2. Can I wash the whole keyboard under water?

No – only the keycaps. Never the case or electronics.

3. How long should keycaps dry after washing?

At least 24 hours, ideally 48.

4. What if I don't have compressed air?

Use a brush or a hair dryer on cool mode.

5. Can I use regular wipes?

Yes, if they’re only lightly damp. Don’t use anything dripping wet.

6. A key isn't working after cleaning what now?

Check if it’s seated correctly. Dust under the switch? Use air or a swab.

7. Are household cleaners safe (like glass cleaner, vinegar)?

Not recommended. Stick to isopropyl alcohol or mild soap.

8. Will the letters fade on the keys?

Not on high-quality boards like UVI. Cheap ones might wear over time.

9. Is alcohol safe for keyboards?

Yes, if applied correctly – with a cloth or swab, never poured directly.

10. Can I take apart a mechanical keyboard myself?

You can remove keycaps safely. Avoid disassembling laptops.

11. How do I prevent dust buildup?

Weekly wipe-downs, a keyboard cover, and clean hands before typing.

12. How do I clean RGB-lit keys?

Use soft brushes and compressed air. Apply alcohol only on cloth/swabs.

13. Should I use a keyboard cover?

Yes – especially in dusty rooms or kitchens.
