In the digital age, our laptop keyboards are among the most used surfaces in the home or office, but rarely the cleanest. Every day, they collect crumbs, dust, skin oils, and unseen bacteria, especially in shared spaces or when eating at your desk. Over time, this build up can lead to poor performance, sticky keys and even hygiene issues.
If you’ve been wondering how to clean a laptop keyboard safely and effectively, this blog will walk you through the process using Bio-D’s All Purpose Sanitiser, a gentle, alcohol free spray made in the UK with plant-based ingredients.
Why It’s Important to Clean Your Keyboard
A study found keyboards can harbour more bacteria than a toilet seat. That makes regular cleaning not just important for functionality but essential for hygiene. This is especially true if you use your laptop in the kitchen, at a shared desk, or around pets.
Cleaning your keyboard regularly helps:
What You’ll Need
Cleaning a laptop keyboard doesn’t require expensive tools, just the right gentle, safe products:
The Bio-D All Purpose Sanitiser is alcohol-free and made with natural ingredients, making it safe to use around electronics when applied correctly.
How to Clean Your Laptop Keyboard: Step-by-Step
Always shut down and unplug your device before cleaning to reduce the risk of short circuits. If your laptop has a removable battery, take that out as well.
Turn the laptop upside down and give it a gentle tap or shake to dislodge loose debris like crumbs or pet hair. You can also gently sweep a soft brush across the surface to remove any lodged particles.
If available, use compressed air in short bursts to blow dust and crumbs out from between the keys. Hold the can at an angle and move across the keyboard systematically.
Lightly spray a soft microfibre cloth with Bio-D All Purpose Sanitiser, do not spray directly onto the keyboard. Wipe the entire surface of the keys and surrounding area. The sanitiser’s gentle, alcohol free formula effectively cleans and sanitises without harming delicate components.
Dampen a cotton bud slightly with Bio-D All Purpose Sanitiser and use it to gently clean in and around each key. Avoid excessive moisture and take your time working between rows.
Allow your keyboard to air dry for at least 15 minutes before turning it back on. Make sure all moisture has evaporated to avoid internal damage.
What to Do if You Spill Something
Spills happen, but a quick response can save your device.

Bio-D’s All Purpose Sanitiser is the ideal solution for disinfecting your keyboard without alcohol or harsh chemicals. Spray it onto a cloth and wipe gently across high touch keys like spacebar, return, and enter. It’s effective at removing bacteria and is kind to your hands too, thanks to its plant-based formula.
