Best way to clean Thinkpad keyboard?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hi,

just got a used TP 770X and it is really a very nice device (with 192MB)
but the keyboard could use some cleaning.

Any experiences made? What would be the best and most secure way?

TIA,
Karl-Heinz

Too late, but thank you very much. I did use Q-tip already and a lot of
liquid with 40% alcohol to clean the keys - after I removed the keyboard
for being sure nothing would drip into the laptop interior... all went
fine, I made a long test and no shortcuts showed up. :-)
