Mr Clean Magic Eraser

[lROOl]

I am sure this has been brought up before but just in case it hasn't Mr Clean Magic Eraser is amazing for cleaning dirty key caps. I had a couple of white keys that had some kinda scuff on them, I tried Oxy Clean 3 times and it worked a lot but still didn't get them fully clean. I just randomly tried the Magic Eraser and in 1 sec the key looked brand new

Those are good products, but, in spite of how they feel to the finger, they ARE abrasive.

I have put a couple of shiny spots on keyboard cases, which were still better than the black marks that were removed, but be careful.

I recommend trying a regular white vinyl pencil eraser, like a "Magic Rub" first, and hold the Mr Clean product back as a last resort.

good advice, I dont know what was on these keys but i tried for like 2 days to get them clean and the only thing that worked was the magic eraser

My usual process is soap and water first, then alcohol, then something like Windex, finishing with something like bleach.

Moving past water-based solvents, and being very careful, I try organic solvents (citrus oil), then naptha (old-fashioned lighter fluid), then acetone.

If none of those dissolve the gunk so that I can wipe it off, I start in with abrasives, beginning with pencil erasers.

I have only found a couple of keys that were actually stained at a penetrating level, where nothing worked to remove the blotch.

Cases are more likely to have really stubborn problems, in my experience.

aw ok see I didn't know if using bleach would hurt the keys good to know thank you

Bleach won't hurt them but the oil-based and organic solvents could.

I don't think I have ever hurt a PBT cap, but I have certainly wrecked ABS ones by various techniques.
