How should I clean my hp-15c Message #1 Posted by JJDietrich on 7 Dec 2010, 9:18 p.m. Is it ok to use rubbing alcohol with q-tips? Something else?

Re: How should I clean my hp-15c Message #3 Posted by Randy on 8 Dec 2010, 9:49 a.m., in response to message #1 by JJDietrich I would not use cotton swabs. Might create polished areas and more importantly, they wouldn't touch the gunk around the keys. My mix is 70/30 isopropyl/di water. Very soft bristle toothbrush. Spray lightly, brush lightly, mop up, canned air dry off. Repeat if needed. The key is not to saturate with liquid, light spray only and repeat when needed. It's like spray painting, two light coats are better than one heavy. Disclaimer: do not use isopropyl on Classics, it will lift the clear coat.
