    Hey all,

    I got some juice spilled in my keyboard. I cleaned it up quickly, but some got below the keys. Everything still works ok, but some of the keys are sticky.

    What's the best way to clean it up?

    Thanks!

    Kind of heard to get in there. You can remove keycaps, disassemble the keyboard even, but I don't recommend that (higher risk of damaging the keyboard further). Alas, sometimes the keyboard has to be replaced when you're facing spill damage.

    Hey superguy, little bit of water + paper towel, or any cotton or microfiber cloth can do the trick.
    For dirt inside of keyboard under the keys, use blower such as this to complete the task.

    Earth-friendly, moisture-free, and nearly unlimited power. Well worth the cost.
