How to clean a laptop?

Hey guys

Is it actually okay—like, safe—to lightly wipe down my laptop keys using a flame fueled by alcohol?

I know, I know, this sounds like a total moron question, but I’m genuinely terrified of frying my hardware and figured I’d ask before I do something stupid.

I get that you can basically toss a desktop keyboard in the trash if it breaks, but this is my laptop, and I really don't want to end up buying a whole new machine because I tried to be "clean."

thanks

Yeah. Honestly? Nothing's gonna happen.

I’ve seen a handful of YouTube videos where people actually fill up their kitchen sink with water and just dunk their components right in—obviously, everything was powered down, of course. Once they pulled them out, they let them sit for a few days to make sure they were bone-dry, and in the end, everything worked perfectly fine without any damage at all...

thanks 👍
