A Avika Member Apr 13, 2026 #2 Safe cleaning of a keyboard: Unplug it first Shake off loose rocks. Use the compressed air to blow dust between the keys. Clean up surfaces using a microfiber towel that is slightly slicked with 70% isopropyl alcohol. In case of sticky keys, a cotton swab wet with alcohol will be used to clean the edges.
