I'm an idiot so I threw a bottle of IrnBru over the keyboard on my laptop - bad idea!
Was going to remove the keys and then clean it that way but after watching a few youtube videos it turned out to be super fiddly and nothing like a desktop keyboard so I chose the next best thing! Just put water on it too!
Best part is that it's worked, probably needs to be done a few more times to completely clear eveything out but for the most part all the keys are moving (and more imporantly working!) as usual! :p
Any suggestions on how to do this properly without just throwing water over or removing the key caps? It's too fiddly and I'd probably end up breaking the clips off..
Update! The water dried off and now the keys are sticky again.. Decided to try taking off the enter key and cleaning it, that worked but now the clip has broken on one corner so don't think I'll be bothering with the rest! The water experiment continues..
I'm not responisble if you break your laptop, it's an awful idea to throw water over it but I've spilt enough drinks over the keyboard to be pretty sure one more wouldn't hurt! If you've not had water on your keyboard before I wouldn't sugggest throwing it over there incase something gets inside your laptop..
