Do you have a sticky keyboard that needs to be cleaned?

Our kid’s have a HP Touchscreen that is housed in the kitchen. It’s totally conveient as we want to make sure it’s in visible sight since it’s for the kids.

Something else I found while searching for how to clean a sticky keyboard was laptop keyboards. I never thought about this, as I really TRY to keep the kids away from my Macbook. If you have a sticky laptop keyboard, Amazon sells new laptop keyboards. I hope this saves someone a ton of money on repairing your laptop keyboard!
