* If you have selected the easier way which is cleaning without removing the keys, compressed air is a good option to try out. The best way to clean out the dirt and dust particles is by using the compressed air. One can find compressed air in computer repair shops. Compressed air easily drags out the dirt, dust and any other undesirable particles that are stuck between the keys.
