  Any ideas how to do it?
  
  I read before some PC magazine that plucking off the keys and then using a brush to clean it is the best way.

  In the end I used to conventional way...use cloth and then use cotton buds to clean the space in between the keys.

  Plug out all the keys and clean.
  
  The only keyboard that has its keys resisted plugging is Logitec. So I've left as it is. Collected quite a lot of dust.

  Use a lint free cloth to wipe off the dust.
