Hi All,

I have a old off white keyboard that adore in
my shop.Â* The keys are starting to look a bit
nasty.

I have tried rubbing alcohol and vinegar and
nothing seems to clean it up.

Any words of wisdom.



Did you try doing the same with a *fine* scouring pad, rather than a
piece of cloth? I have seen furniture restorers use it to get surface
dirt off wood and metal surfaces. (Make sure you try it on one key,
before doing the rest. If ivory, it should not leave any scratch marks.
If plastic, hope it is hard plastic.)

Try a soft cotton cloth soaked in a water/dish soap solution.Â* Wring
it out until almost dry and try that.Â* When clean do it all over again
with a clean damp rag to remove any leftover soap.Â* Popsicle sticks
help to get the rag down between the keys.

Some plastic used in keyboards and other plastic PC components do
discolor (usually get darker) when exposed long term to UV Light, as
from the sun OR florescent lights.


Spound liek a good start.


The keys are not yellow.Â* They are brown from year of dirt
from my fingers
