I'm sure the info is here and I'll get rippied by ripster. But any advice on cleaning out the lettering on some engraved white keys from WASD. A few of them have a little discolor in them now.

Have you tried soap and warm water? That's what I use, though my engraved keycaps aren't too dirty.

It really was a general question but I'll ask there anyways. I think I need something to clean inside the lettering besides just sitting them in water. They aren't real bad but a couple don't look bright white and its bothering me.

If I have a tough spot, I get an old toothbrush, and scrub it a little like a floor.

Also, simple green is a cleaner that has been mentioned in "how to clean my keyboard" (or whatever) topic in ripster's index. I still think that warm soapy water and a dishrag to scrub with should work out well.

Edit: spelling

Thanks for the info, i have yet to get off my butt and do it. They are sitting in a bag so not really any rush.
