Crumbs and dust between the keys are pretty gross. TECHBOOK reveals how you can easily clean the keyboard with a regular sticky note.
Keyboards are used every day but almost never cleaned. As a result, dirt and germs accumulate not only on but also beside, between, and under the keys. This is not only unhygienic but can also lead to the keyboard not functioning properly. TECHBOOK shows you in the video above how to clean the spaces between the keys with a regular sticky note.
Here’s how:
Simply run the sticky note through the spaces between the keys. Clean sticky keys carefully with a damp cloth.

After a short time, dust and crumbs collect on the adhesive surface. Simply repeat with a new note until no dirt remains. Feel free to turn the sticky note around with the adhesive side to clean the keys from both sides.
