Keyboard deep-cleaned to remove all the accumulated grime, crumbs, and general nastiness that builds up over time. Keys working smoothly again, no weird stickiness, no mystery crumbs launching when you type.
### When Did Your Keyboard Get So Disgusting?
Let's be honest - **keyboards are gross**. Years of typing, eating lunch at your desk, occasional drink spills, and just general life means there's probably a small ecosystem living under those keys.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If you shake your keyboard over a bin and hear rattling, you definitely need a clean.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Assessment I'll have a look at what we're dealing with, work out if keycaps come off safely, and check for any actual damage versus just dirt. ### Step 2: The Clean Keycaps off (if appropriate), everything cleaned properly with the right tools and solutions. Not just surface stuff - the actual grime. ### Step 3: Testing Every key gets pressed to make sure it works. Sometimes cleaning reveals a key that was already broken but you hadn't noticed because it was stuck anyway.

Good to Know
> 🎮 **Mechanical keyboard owner?** These are actually the easiest to clean because they're designed to come apart. Just don't lose any keycaps. **Laptop keyboard?** These are trickier because the keys don't always come off. I'll do the best clean possible without risking damage. **Work keyboard supplied by your employer?** Check with IT before getting it cleaned, especially if it's a fancy setup. Some companies are weird about it. **Old house with actual dust?** Exeter's older properties create more dust than modern ones. Your keyboard probably needs cleaning more often - it's not just you being messy.
Frequently Asked Questions about Keyboard cleaning in Ottery St Mary
Why is my keyboard so sticky and gross?
You'd be amazed what builds up under those keys - crumbs, dust, skin cells, the lot. If you eat at your desk (we all do), you're basically feeding your keyboard. A proper clean gets all that gunk out and makes typing pleasant again.
Can you clean my mechanical keyboard without breaking it?
Yes - mechanical keyboards are actually easier to clean because the keycaps pop off. I'll remove them carefully, clean everything properly, and put them back in the right places. You'll have a photo backup of the layout just in case.
Will cleaning fix my non-working keys?
Often yes, if they're stuck from grime. Sometimes no, if there's actual damage. But a clean is always the first thing to try - it fixes about 70% of sticky key problems and it's much cheaper than a new keyboard.
Do I need to back anything up before you clean it?
Not really, unless you want me to take the laptop away for a deeper clean. For on-site work, I'm not touching any files or settings - just physically cleaning the keyboard hardware.
How long will it stay clean?
Depends how you use it. If you're eating crisps over it daily, maybe 6 months. If you're careful, could be years. I'll leave you with some tips and a brush to keep on top of it yourself.
