Why did it never occur to me.. You can wash a keyboard in water.

The sugar in Coke can also corrode contacts and components.
We used to replace a lot of damaged laptop mobos thanks to soft drink spills.

I think the primary antonym for clean is dirty.
Is everyone a straight man? Just throw the thing on the lawn and let the sprinkler take care of it. :)
Stoic Joker:
Yes... But Sticky is a loosely related (in a third cousin sort of way) synonym of the antonym of clean.

If your vinegar bottle is try pop open a can of Coke Classic and give it a try. Your keyboard will be clean, but very sticky. :)

Nah. I've worked with glues that were very very clean and very very sticky. :)
For me a paper towel with a bit of alcohol is good enough. Some on a Q-Tip for the tops of the keys. And that's only on occasion. Most of the time I just vac.
Which reminds me. They used to make a gizmo that amounted to a flashlight with a small blower on the end. Instead of canned air you could just use that. Too bad the construction was so flimsy. They seemed to die in a couple of months. But it made me think of a battery-free solution that would last for years. A junior bellows. Take the thing that hangs by the fireplace and reduce it to about 1/4 size. Have it rigged out with a spring so you could work it with one hand. Just squeeze the handles and a jet of air is produced. Small enough to get in under the old CRT monitor. But nobody would produce them because they would last too long.
