How to clean a laptop keyboard after a bird has pooped on it?

Asked by mikealan1986 (10points) June 13th, 2010

Hi I was sitting out in the yard today doing some work on the laptop when a crow or some kind of bird flew by and pooped right on my keyboard when I was not looking. I wiped the poop off with a dry paper towel and used the compressed air to get to the space between the keys. I was wondering what do I use to disinfect it?

I wouldn’t even bother, but I guess that’s just me. If it bothers you, wipe it down with some isopropyl.

Use Lysol or Clorox Disinfectant wipes, since it is only a surface problem.

To me it seems like the canned air would push the crud deeper into the computer since the poop isn’t like doesn’t and won’t just float out…

That doesn’t bug you?
