Re: HP67 keyboard cleaning Message #3 Posted by Todd Garabedian on 9 Jan 2001, 8:56 a.m., in response to message #1 by John Robinson (Australia)
John,
From what you've stated, I believe you're going to have a tough time cleaning that gunk off. The dilemma is that if you use a strong cleaner, you risk removing the lettering underneath! The lettering on the Classic and Woodstock models is known to be delicate, so that condition compounds the problem.
I suggest that you start with the least harsh cleaners and work your way up. I use the same principle when I detail my car. Perhaps you could start with a 20% solution of your 70% ethanol. If that doesn't work, increase the concentration of ethanol a bit. Alternatively, you may want to try a cleaning solution with a bit of organics in it, such as Fantastik or 409 Glass cleaner.
Good luck,
