Turn the keyboard upside down. That'll get rid of dust etc. I don't really eat much at my keyboard, saitech eclipse 1 I think. I did however blow out a candle twice in a short period of time and each time got wax on my new dell 22 inch, what a plonker rodney! Luckily you can't really see it, only when the screen is blank, like when turned off. Luckily.

i dont like my computer or my computer area being messy really. so spaghetti for above reason,crisps and anything else particularly nasty and messy is banned.
i always clear up and i ask of all others that use MY pc to do the same.
my brother however is an ungratefull, self centred, anoying, charvistic, dissrespectful ***. So like all the other things people ask him not to do, he does them and more.
rant, but cant wait for him to move out.

I just recently did the annual keyboard clean and found a collection of stale crumbs! Mainly from toast I'm guessing.
Just wondered if anyone had any keyboard/laptop disasters? I'm guessing soup is the main enemy of the keyboard muncher!
Nah, worst I've done is spilt a bit of tea which thankfully didn't have sugar in it, and it only went on the wrist rest of my keyboard
I don't eat meals at my computer very often, when I do I don't do it over the keyboard, I do it over a plate

I didn't forget either of those, what I really missed was the apostrophe in "dos".
A thread title does not infact have to be a sentence, nor does it have to be grammatically correct.

why you complaining then?

Wise guy.
Children, children, either you can spell or you can't! 
There are more rogue apostrophes on here than I can shake a stick at but do you hear me complaining? I may be muttering about what English teachers may or may not be teaching these days but I keep that to myself.
As for spilling liquids on an ordinary keyboard, have you not considered unplugging it and running a warm shower over it? It works a treat. (Do you really have to be told to make sure it's completely dry before it's plugged back in?) Once in while, unplug the keyboard and give it a good pat on the back and a good shaking to remove any crumbs and Bob's your uncle.
Now stop sniping at each other and behave!

I once managed to spill some sort of vodka/rum concoction over my keyboard. I was too drunk at the time to have any memory of it but found the next day that pressing some keys gave me hilarious results, like typing "m" would give me "2l" and so on. I deduced it had rum in it from the smell when I took the keyboard apart. I gave the plastic curcuit sheet a wipe and it was as good as new (apart from the smell).

Madam, Madame, ma'am, or Mme is a title for a woman. It is derived from the French madam.
Do you own a dictionary?

Yes, and ma'am is not a word. It's a corruption used by common people.
Lol, tell that to the Oxford English Dictionary. I'm sure your opinion would be highly valued.

I was sort of enjoying this thread until the grammar police came along.
I need a very very clean area or I'll start going mad. My bro leaves all the cd's out of the boxes and I go ape ****. Also spaghetti is no go, that sauce is notorious for whipping off and attacking your screen.

This, muchly.i find that spaghetti often results in small blobs of sauce ending up on the screen
Smokers computers are horrible to work on, usually full of sticky tary dust.
I find keyboards handle submersion quite well.
