For a keyboard like that, you have three options: 1) Dishwasher (if it's the
type that can be cleaned that way—the thing is to make sure it's ABSOLUTELY
bone-dry before using it again); 2) Total disassembly and painstaking detailed
cleaning; or 3) Buy a new keyboard!

This thing is so grungy it's gonna have to be swabbed in a biohazard
isolation tent. Canned air won't loosen the many particles of cookies,
cakes, pies, crackers, etc., that have found their way into all the
nooks and crannies. I've tried it.

That's what we used to use in our repair department in the Apple-only computer
store I worked in years and years ago. It does work pretty great, without doing
an extremely time-consuming (and, I think, a bit unnecessary, unless you're
OCD!) complete disassembly of a keyboard. Also? Don't eat an
I have put keyboards in the dishwasher before, and it worked fine. And I used
to work in a computer store (that sold only Apple computers) and all of us
techs did it. Now, granted, that was a long time ago, so I don't know for a
fact that contemporary dishwashers aren't too hot, or that new des

it an A1049.
This thing has so much accumulated grunge that it's going to have to
be disassembled to clean it. And I will be sure to photograph it first
so I get all the keys back where they belong!

Many thanks! Great instructions. I don't know where I saw/read the
recommendation to put the keyboard in the dishwasher, but I was
skeptical of it from the get-go.
Nice to see this group is still alive.

What I've done with older keyboards is to use "canned air," (which actually is
a compressed inert gas), by just blowing the snot out of 'em. Some of that gas
does liquify in that process but since it's inert no harm comes out of it and
the job gets done.
