Re: Wireless Keyboard
what I do (after the computer is shut down), is wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with Windex. Then I use a vacuum with the brush attachment to get all the dust off and out from around and under the keys. Well made keyboards' keys are strong enough to withstand the suction of the vacuum, and I have never had one come off. However, even if one did, it is not lost, you just have to cut the bag and retrieve it.
If you have coke or something like that, however, to clean, I have never seen any successful cleaning. You may struggle with some cleaning, but you likely need to consider a new keyboard.

I've used in on my eMac's white Apple keyboard. I got it to look good as new. No visible damage whatsoever.
