cleaning keyboards in the dishwasher

I even use soap or some type of spray cleaner like Fantastic. They get rinsed with hotish water. If the board has a lot of places to trap water, I'll blow it off with my compressor, or R134a (canned air). Then it gets stood up on an edge in front of a box fan, and I'll rotate it every so often. Sometimes I'll leave it over night, but really a few hours is all it takes. Sometimes I'll put stuff in the oven. I've even done a PC power supply or two this way, after I've taken it out of it's chassis. I'll get just about anything wet, that I feel I can get dry effectively. Chad Fernandez Michigan, USA
