Clean the keyboard

#1

Is there any other way to clean a MBA keyboard aside from compressed air_

#2

try the Trixes Keyboad cleaner. It is great to get rid of bread crumps, dust and dirts, etc

Before cleaning, I suggest the Keyboard Clean Tool, a nice (free) utility that locks the keyboard so you can clean. You click the on-screen button with the mouse to unlock the keyboard when finished.

I use a little 409 or Fantastik on a microfiber cloth. Wipes away hand lotion buildup, dust dirt, etc.

Do you turn the computer off_

I try. The problem with Macs lately is that all it takes is to bump a key and it turns right back on!

guess you can always remove the power to avoid accidental starting of the Mac

Unplug, transcode some videos with FFMPEG to run the battery completely down to where it won’t turn on no matter what you do, THEN clean the keyboard. :smiley:

I have an iMac with the extended Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth Magic Trackpad. I switch off the keyboard and trackpad when I clean them, but I do not turn off the iMac itself.
