    How often do you clean your keyboard? Have you ever used the cleaning gel? I want some.

    Before I only used a laptop, all kinds of crumbs and odd things would fall out when I turned it over and shook it.
    Then again, I thought of this only because I noticed my laptop needs a good clean.
    I have no idea where all those spots come from. I don't drool when I type or anything........:D

    If I used that, I'd have most of it stuck between the keys. I use the aerosol air thingy. And wipe the keys with a damp cloth.

    I have come to the conclusion that when it is time to clean the keyboard, it’s also time to buy a new one. I have figured out, all on my own, that Keyboards really do not like to be cleaned because every time I clean one, it quits working.

    Well, it might be fun to play with; squeeze it between your fingers, squish it with your toes. Maybe poke a bit of up your nose and blow or pull it out in front of hoity toity people. :D

    Hey, I almost made a rhyme.

    Squeeze it with your fingers,
    squish it with your toes
    Take a bit of it and
    poke it up your nose. :D

    Well, I’m game. Since I already use a toothpick to help clean around the keys and I think the same one to help get that derned dried up stuff way up in my nose dislodged, if the gel will do all that and replace that toothpick, I’m in!

    @Shirley Martin You have to be one of the happiest people I've ever run across. I sure wish we lived closer.

    Yeah, I tried the vacuum cleaner thing. Took me half a day to fish the derned keys out of my shop vac. The Board was indeed clean but the keys had sawdust all over them.
    Maybe I should try a Kirby next time.
