I have had this laptop for a while and it needs to be cleaned.
I have dust and everything else in the keyboard.
I have a cloth that is designed to clean computer screens,
but here's the question: How do I clean my keyboard?
Not only do I need the keys cleaned off, but I have stuff between the keys,
and way down deep.
I would appreciate your help. Thanks! : )

Sometimes that pressurized air helps.

I usually hold my keyboard upside down and give it a good shake
Gets ride of the junk in between.

Other than that, I just unscrew my keyboard every now and then, and clean it out. Although I wouldn't recommend that unless you know a little bit about them. ;D
I'm not sure if you can do that on a laptop though.

For my screen, I usually get a cotton ball and dab a pinch of rubbing alcohol on it, and give it a quick wipe to get the nasty shit off. Then I grab a soft tissue (BUT NOT ONE WITH LOTION!!!) and just polish it until it's gleaming and flawless.

For the keyboard, I usually turn the laptop off, and get out another cotton ball and soak it in rubbing alcohol and go over all the keys and clean offf all the grease and nasty crust that gathers on them. To get out the dust and shit under the keyboard, I just get a can of compressed air and start from one side of the keyboard and blow the shit out to the other side.

I USE A Q-TIP WITH WASHING-UP LIQUID AND PULL THE KEYS OFF. NOT SURE IF THAT IS THE RECOMMENDED METHOD THOUGH! ;D

I used my bank card or any other thick card to get between the keys. Pull from one side to the other, it often worked. But most of it was cat hair. Now we got this nifty air compressor with a long straw.
