Shut down and unplug your MacBook before cleaning. Hold it at a 75-degree angle (almost vertical) and use a can of compressed air with the straw attachment. Spray in a left-to-right zigzag across the keyboard, rotate the MacBook to its right side and repeat, then to the left side and repeat. This dislodges crumbs from under the keycaps without prying them off. For sticky residue, dampen a lint-free cloth with 70% isopropyl alcohol - never spray liquid onto the keyboard.
Wipe each key, then dry with a microfiber cloth. Don't use household cleaners, paper towels, or anything that drips. If a specific key is stuck or unresponsive after cleaning, the membrane underneath may be damaged - common on the 2016-2019 butterfly keyboard models, which Apple's service program covered until 2023. Out-of-warranty? Azizi Technologies replaces individual keys or full top-cases at Dubai workshop pricing.
