to brush all the dust up, then I turn it upside down and shake and blow. I think that vacuum cleaner idea is great though, but I have no experience with it. I have also never cleaned the keyboard well with any liquid, but I have taken a lint-free cloth and dry-wiped after all the brushing and shaking and blowing.
