I've done this with dirty keyboards before, it works pretty well actually!


I would never do it with a toaster :)

But curious, how did you dry the keyboard ?


I put it in an oven at low temperature, and then let it dry outside for a day. It did not work so I thought it was broken. And then, a few days later I plugged it in and it worked fine (and still does)


I just let it air dry for a day. I turned the heated dry option off on the dishwasher just in case.


Reminds me of that time my mom spilled a cup of coffee on the keyboard — and then dried it with the hair dryer.

We spent a few weeks using the other end of a paint brush to hit the keys whose caps melted off until we could get a new one.
