Great stuff for detail dusting and cleaning!
Purchased this to clean my keyboard as described. Cleaning the keyboard using this substance was not very effective because one still must disassemble the keyboard case and remove the keycaps to clean. After disassembly, soap and water for the keycaps and a strong vacuum cleaner with a soft paint brush does a good job on the keyboard.
This stuff is like a strange life form. It starts out as a moist feeling sticky blob that is easily shaped. Leave it on a table and it will spread out and drip down into any depressions or holes nearby. It does leave whatever it touches with a sort of wetness that dries quickly and pretty clean. If it gets on glass, the glass should be cleaned a bit better, but that isn't difficult.
Formed into a ball, this slime becomes a hungry monster that engulfs dust and dirt particles and even some small chips.
I had some lenses and electronic items that have complex grips, contours and varied combinations of plastic, metal, glass and rubber. A vacuum cleaner and brush just didn't do the trick. This slime made quick and excellent work of picking up so much dust just by blotting the surface. Every bit of matte or semi-matte plastic around the desk from the phone to remote controls all cleaned up effortlessly. It can be rolled along edges, dabbed or blotted on surfaces.
Over time, it does tend to evaporate and shrink but by then it changes color from its native day-glow lime green jelly to color to a dirty form that looks like it came from somebody's nose. Even when dirty, it will still encapsulate debris remarkably well. One glob of it goes a long way.
It is very handy to keep a resealable plastic tub from the kitchen to set the slime in when it needs to rest while working on some delicate piece such as camera equipment. If one leaves it near a table edge or complex equipment with openings into delicate innards, it will flow inside where it can, or drip off the edge of the table to gobble up any dirt on the carpet or floor. Putting in a tub works fine. At room temperature, it will spread out wide and flat. Pick it up and roll it or shape it and clean again. I learned about this the hard way when it flowed into the mechanism of a lens cap sitting next to it on the table and then continued on to drip onto the carpet. It was easy to clean the cap in water, on the carpet it came right up along with news to me about how much I need to vacuum.
DOH! The packets of this stuff are shipped in a resealable plastic tub similar to those designed for food storage. Good idea to use that container to set the hungry monster in while putting on lens caps, formatting cards and sorting through gear while cleaning.
This stuff really helped me clean up gear that was left on a shelf as well as stuff that was in storage between moves. It also cleaned up my phone nicely. As a keyboard cleaner, it would be okay for light external dusting to pick up what the vacuum missed.
Vacuum and brush, then this, and if needed, microfiber cloth - all clean like new.
Very pleased with it for general use. Manufacturer needs to give it a simple name perhaps Bedee Blob or something that means "Dust Eater", or "Amoebic Duster" or Dustophage who knows.
