1: Individual laptop keyboard letters etc can be popper out....cleaned un-neath...small vacuum / toothbrush is great.
2: If you dont want to do that...Officeworks sells cans of compressed air with a thin nozzel specifically for hard core pointing under the keys and getting muck out
3: If it happens often....you can flip the laptop over...get the model number...plug it into google..put a space and type KEYBOARD FRU and it will give you some whacky number which will be the keyboard part replacement.
Plug that number into ebay and you can score them for $100 or less brand new and they make a world of difference.
Or paste your model number here and I'll give you the keyboard number.
