Cleaning dried pee from a keyboard?

[sarahp]

Only Nat would start a thread titled "Cleaning dried pee from a keyboard".

And no - I have no idea how to help!

Seriously, unless you love this keyboard, I'd just throw it out.

Perhaps one of these babies might tempt you?

Not wireless, but still pretty cool. And "moisture" proof.

i would also throw it out, because my kitties will constantly pee on the same place over and over again, even if i wash it really well

Seriously, unless you're very attached I would probably just get a new one...I guess it's time for a keyboard cover...I had one back in the day

This thread made me

...in that order.

That depends purely on how old your computer is!! I stress - don't do it unless you know that your keyboard will be safe in there. Normally when I spill anything on the keyboard, I wait until it dries, then take all the keys off and take a damp cloth over everything. Our keyboard - even though the rest of the computer is relatively new - the keyboard is quite old (bf likes keys that say "click" when you hit them

) so that method is the best for cleaning that one. Better yet, take it to a specialist

It's not up to me to buy a new keyboard....see....the kitties were kind enough to pee on my parent's computer not mine!

Dad's convinced he can save it....I'm convinced I'll e-mail him some links to keyboards.

Does he have a birthday or some other occasion coming up? You could buy one FOR him,

Nope. Not for a year anyways!

We got a giftcard for Dell & ones for Best Buy.....I'm sure I can find one for him & order it! (Men!)
