That's what I do.Pluck the buttons out and clean the bottom of the under lays, it works that way, eh.
Be careful though.Thanks. I didn't think of removing the key buttons.
I always use air spray to clean out laptop keyboards. Do not remove any keys. I yelled to lost keys when my friend's two-years old son removed out some keys from my laptop. We were hard to replace them into it. that s not easy to replace than desktop s keyboard.
But first, take picture of it before taking it apart for cleaning - so that way you can identifying the keyboard buttons where it belongs to....
Some computers have a command that lets you convert the keyboard settings to other countries (that still use the same alphabet).Not neccesary, can be done by following keyboard setup from another keyboard. I've done this before and played trick on my kids by mixing up the buttons But my wife happen to use the system with mixed up keyboard and she got pissed at me.

I've played trick on friends and family with old desk SWBell phone with two "same" number (it came from my friend who gave it to me cuz he got new phone, he told me that other friend who fixed SWBell phone mess it up). When anyone tried to dial number, they ended up getting confused and couldn't figure out which is which for example :
regular button setting for phone
123
456
789
*0#
while the funny phone button setting was
123
466
789
*0#

When I see my keyboard dirty, I buy new one, it's $5 at Wal-Mart.
Really? They must be so dirty that you must have to buy a new one. I know it's 5 dollars, but if they are able to be cleaned, then many of us don't see a reason to buy a new one. I think it's polluting the environment to dispose of keyboards everytime they are dirty.
