PC keyboard, how many bacteria! How to clean it thoroughly
First, for daily cleaning simply wipe the keyboard with a soft cloth, moistened with water and detergent. In this way, you will remove the most superficial layer of dirt every day and prevent it from falling between the keys and making the situation worse.
For the deepest cleaning, turn off the pc and unplug the keyboard if you can. Then turn it upside down and give a few taps with your hands, so that the first crumbs start to come out. At this point, take a can of compressed air and spray it between the keys, then with a cloth moistened with water and a special detergent, remove the specks of dust that will have come out.
If you want to be even more professional, you can buy mini vacuum cleaners for PCs: these are devices that are charged via the USB port of the computer and are very useful for removing all the tiny impurities.
Another way to clean between keys is to take a small makeup or drawing brush and carefully pass it into every crevice. Anyway, whichever method you choose, it is important to carry out this routine at least once a week: in this way, you will prevent dirt from accumulating and becoming dangerous for your health.
