More keyboard & dishwasher fun
Was my first attempt at successfully cleaning a keyboard in a dishwasher a fluke? Well no, as it turns out.
Today’s candidate? A 2 year old HP branded keyboard. As the photo below shows, it was one grotty keyboard. This time around, I used the “FAST” dishwasher setting. When I took the keyboard out of the dishwasher, about a cupful (250ml) of water drained out. 3 days later, the keyboard was ready to use.
Before aka Furry Keys
After aka Clean Keys.
A note about the “FAST” mode
1 wash cycle (at 122ºF / 50ºC)
1 post rinse
1 final rinse (at 122ºF / 50ºC)
And I used 75% less dishwasher powder than I did with the first attempt.
Cleaning a keyboard in the dishwasher.
Keyboards get very dirty. Everything seems to drop into them, such as hair, skin flakes, and food. When I learnt how to clean keyboards, cigarette ash was common enough as well.
Ewwww!
There are two ways to clean a keyboard, disassemble and wash by hand; or dishwasher. This post will cover using a dishwasher.
Why? Well doing this: 
takes me about 4 hours.
Dishwashing.
Disclaimer:
I did this on a keyboard I can afford to replace if it didn’t work.
You might want to think about that.
