wisebread.com — It turns out a lot of people have already tried this method of cleaning their keyboards. And some put only parts of the keyboard in the dishwasher for cleaning. For the most part, the dishwashing method actually seems to work!

  • graderguy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I have done this many times. Have had 100% success with old Apple ADB keyboards. Mixed results with USB. One USB keyboard (one of the iMac kbrds with black keys) worked fine for a while, then got a little flaky, but I can not be for certain that the dish washing was the culprit. One bit of advice is to LET IT DRY!! Thoroughly! Water + electricity = bad! After you think it's dry, let it sit a few more days! I am lucky enough to have plenty of spare keyboards so downtime is not an issue. As one person on the site noted, having a spare is a fantastic idea!
