I think mine needs something more than a hoover, it is truly vile.
Any magic products out there?

Q tips soaked in a bit of cleaning spray? Not too wet though.

but it upside down and shake to get the crumbs out
then baby wipes.

If turning it upside down and shaking it does not work, I buy a new one. They're only a fiver up t'road.

done the shaking upside down thing but it still looks a bit furry not great.
I do share with DH who I know has a tendancy to eat over the keyboard...

I recently sat with an ill child on my lap and a pair of curved nailscissors nearby and survived several episodes of Don't Tell the Bride by scraping out a sickening amount of fluff and crumbs with the scissors. They are just the right shape and can be kind of tweezers. It was a monumentally boring but addictive task and I don't think I'd ever have done it if I wasn't trapped on the sofa. Now my keyboard looks lovely though.

I bought a kit from the 99p store - good brush for getting into the nooks and crannies, cloth and spray.

Um, does dusting it with my sleeve count?

Ive just done mine today. Q-tip, no spray on it or anything, wipe inbetween every key (start from top to bottom). Once all the shit dust is out from between the keys, spray a cloth with cleaner and wipe the whole thing over.
