How To Clean A Keyboard Properly?
We would like to support you with recommendations on how to clean your product.
We suggest reviewing the chemical resistance of your product. Do not use any cleaners that contain substances, listed as “non-resistant”.
STAINLESS STEEL
Never use any abrasive substances, such as steel wool or aggressive scouring agents, to remove stubborn marks. Do not use any cleaning agents containing substances that are listed as non-resistant in the following table.

PLASTIC
Use a cleaning brush to clean our plastic keyboards in a dry state. You can also wet the keyboards to clean them if they have at least an IP65 degree of protection - e.g. to remove any sticky dirt. Use a cleaning brush and, if necessary, a normal cleaning agent under warm running water (max. +60°C) to clean our plastic keyboards.
Never use any abrasive substances, such as steel wool or aggressive scouring agents, to remove stubborn marks either. Do not use any cleaning agents containing substances that are listed as non-resistant in the following table.

SILICONE
Use a soft cloth and a vinegar-based household cleaner to clean our keyboards. Exert slight pressure with the cloth, which has been soaked with the cleaner and then squeezed out, and remove any dirt with circular movements. Then wipe the cleaned surface with a damp cloth in order to remove any remaining cleaning agent. When disinfecting, we recommend that you use an alcohol-based disinfectant in line with the manufacturer’s specifications.
