Slide the tip of a flathead screwdriver under the bottom left key, pry it free, and soak in a bowl of soapy water. Repeat with the rest of the small keys. Leave the larger keys -- such as the space bar, enter, and shift -- since they're harder to reattach.Step 3: Clean and dry keysRinse the keys individually in fresh water and lay them on a towel to air-dry.
