How to clean the old Apple Magic Keyboard from liquids

- My cat usually just sends keyboard vomit messages. Well, the other day, she decided to take it a step further! And I had to find a way to clean it and save my old Apple Magic Keyboard. So here are my useful tips! (It should work on drink spills too.)
As you can imagine, this was not my planned and carefully scripted video, so I am apologizing for any missing footage in advance. I tried to fill it in with supportive content and narration here and there. But I thought it might be helpful to share my tips and experience... accidents happen, and I have spilled coffee into my keyboard countless times.
Supplies:
dirty Apple Magic Keyboard, denatured alcohol like *isopropyl alcohol*, soft toothbrush, a plastic bin for washing, paper towels, soft sponge, and mild dish soap for the keys.
Tips:
Do NOT let the spill sit too long, and start the cleaning process as soon as you can.
Do NOT wash the keyboard in water - use ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL (it dries fast with NO residue)
If you want to dust it off, do NOT use a vacuum cleaner, or you might never find all the parts. Use an air compressor or an air-can duster and a little soft brush instead to blow the dust off.

Well done. I'm very glad you could save yourself having to pay extra money 💶💶 but, more importantly, the environment from e-waste, keep up the creativity. Greetings from Australia.🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you so much for the supportive comment! Yes, I always try to save and repair everything until it is really unrepairable, to minimize waste, and to appreciate the efforts of whoever made it in the first place. ❤
@craftyhanded yeah, thanks that a fair point, keep up the the good work and creativity. Cheers. 🙋♂️
your commentary is 🔥
Is that good or bad? :)
@@craftyhanded it's really good. love it
So I tried to clean a single key that's been giving me trouble, but it doesn't spring back up like other keys. Please advise.
Hello, which key are you having the problem with? It could be the problem deeper in the keyboard under the little plastic nob which is supposed to lift your key up. When you push it without the key does it spring back up?
@@craftyhanded I have the same problem after cleaning just the key /- 1 -2
Pretty funny for an Apple employee 👍🏼
Thank you for a comment :) It was not so funny when I first saw my keyboard 😀 It was something between disgusting and hopeless. So I thought there was not much I could do worse, haha. Are you an Apple employee?

@@craftyhanded 🤣🤣 I wasn’t referring to your keyboard CATastrophe, I meant you!! You’re pretty funny for an apple employee (and if you aint one, you feckin should be!!! It’s been a pleasure 👊🏼
Why everyone lies about cats puking on their keyboards??? Wtf is wrong with you people? If a cat wanna vomit, will she, he try get on top of your desk and find the keyboard then vomit?! Why you got to lie, cuz you simply dirty yourself that keyboard and put the blame on a cat? Fff sake!
Because you know nothing about cats doesn't give you the right to call other people liars. It just makes you ignorant. That's all. Sorry.
take it as just a funny example for emergency cleaning reason.. I got here after a tragic coffee spill.. chill mate.
