The dishwasher vs. your dirty computer keyboard
WHAT???

Yup, that's was my first reaction when I saw this little headline on CNET.

Someone must be playing a joke or off their rocker were the follow up reactions!

But, sure enough - there it was - an article on actually cleaning your keyboard in the dishwasher!!!

" Though we cannot recommend this method of cleaning for everyone, it may be a last resort for some keyboards. Even so, there are a few cautions you should be aware of in doing this, especially since without observing them you may end up with a clean but broken keyboard.

First and foremost: again, use the dishwasher as a last resort for cleaning your keyboard. Try cleaners with Q-tips, towels, and toothpicks before soaking your keyboard for 30 minutes or so. "

Personally, I use a nice clear silicone keyboard cover ( keeps the crumbs out!)

A friend of mine did it back in 2000, and it worked!!! But I use the *shake and bake* method (leaving out the bake) 8-[ and q tips , that canned air stuff, and windex on a soft rag.
