The crumbs you keep ignoring between your keys can come out in one press. This soft, translucent gel moulds into each gap, lifts dust and debris, and pulls away clean. Reusable and easy to store, it also works on car vents and shoes.
Pulls dust and debris out of keyboard gaps without taking keys apart
- dust and crumbs trapped between keys
- hard-to-reach crevices in keyboards
- dirty car vents and interiors
- dirty shoe holes
Clean every key gap without taking keys apart
Crumbs and dust sit stuck between your keys and you can see them with every keystroke. Press in a little gel, lift them out, and the keyboard looks clean again.
Gel that goes where your brush can't
- Molds into every gap
The gel is soft and slightly tacky, so it sinks into the space between keys and wraps the edges of each one. Press it in, let it settle, and it reaches the crumbs a brush slides past. Nothing has to come off the keyboard first.
- Lifts debris, no mess
Debris sticks to the gel as you lift it, so nothing gets blown onto the desk or pushed deeper into the board. The gel turns grey-brown as it works, and that colour change is the proof you can see. Most gaps clear in a press or two.
Press, lift, repeat at your desk
- 1Unplug and squeeze out a little gel
Power down or unplug the keyboard, then squeeze out a small amount from the tube. A little goes a long way.
- 2Press lightly into the gap
Push the gel into the space between two keys and let it mould around the edges. Press straight down. Dragging it across the keycaps can smear debris onto them.
- 3Lift straight up and repeat
Pull the gel straight up and the debris comes with it. Keep going until the gel stops picking anything up, then move to the next row.

Questions and answers
The gel is soft and works in the gaps, so you never pry a keycap or stress a clip. Press lightly, lift straight up, and skip dragging it across the tops of the keys. It is made for dust and crumbs, not for scrubbing marks off a finish.
Compressed air pushes debris deeper or onto your desk. A brush misses the gaps. The gel grabs what sits in the crevice and comes out carrying it, so the mess stays on the gel and off your desk.
Yes, if you clean regularly. The gel is reusable, so one pouch covers the keyboard, the car vents and a pair of shoes. You replace it when it stops picking anything up, and that is the only ongoing cost.
A fresh piece leaves nothing on the keys. Once the gel gets heavily soiled and dark, it can leave residue, so swap it out before it saturates.
Yes. Press it into the slats of a car vent, the corners of a cup holder or the holes of a shoe, then lift and repeat. The same gel works for all three.
