Hey Bernie,

Sounds strange doesn't it?

To elaborate, I do not believe this applies to the general periodic  
maintenance of a keyboard whatsoever.

By chance, I became aware of this procedure being performed on  
keyboards whose functionality was rendered useless after fluid  
spillage i.e. soft drinks, coffee, etc. Normally, the keyboard is  
pronounced dead and a replacement is purchased.

But as long as ten years ago, the good folk at Publishers Printing in  
Shepherdsville discovered that a subsequent washing of the afflicted  
keyboard in the dishwasher rendered them useful once again. However,  
I should add that once washed the keyboard was given ample time to  
dry (up to two weeks).

I've never tried it but what have you got to lose?
