Washing

I went a little over board with the washing the keyboard by just simply running it under water. I have done it twice before and the keyboard is still working till this day (Apr 2021).

*However, if you are worried that the the PCB may get damaged or water may get into the switches. Do not follow what I did below.

Step 5Rinsing*

Some of my switches were sticky and I was too impatient to clean them individually so I ran them under the water.

Step 6Drying

Let the keyboard and its switches dry over a couple of days. To speed up the process I used an air purifier to blow air through different angles of the keyboard.
