Tech Tip

by Michael McGrath

If you're like me, you snack while working at your computer. Maybe it's a sandwich, some cookies, or a glass of ginger ale. It's a bad thing to do, I know, and you've probably learned that, too. I always keep the drink on a different table, behind me; but the food, well, I'm not so good with that. Those crumbs find their way down into my keyboard; the ketchup leaks out from my hamburger; the keys stick, and boy, I hate when that happens.

So, this is what I do every once in a while... I wash my keyboard. I disconnect the cable and take it to the kitchen sink. I turn it upside down and shake it a little to dump those crumbs. You can pick up a can of compressed gas from a place like Staples ($5.95) and blow them out, but the upside down shaking thing is free, and it's always done the trick for me. I also wash it in warm running water with a sponge to get rid of those ketchup stains. Then, I suspend it upside down, and let it air dry; sometimes, though, I'll use my daughter's hair dryer to speed it along.

Yep, you can actually do that. It won't hurt your keyboard at all. Don't get frustrated by keys that stick...clean and wash it.

One last thing, Readers... Please remember that a keyboard is a piece of electronics.  Shocks can result when water and electricity meet.  When we say dry, we really mean really dry.  Be Careful!
