Haha...

:-D

Actually the dishwasher works wonders on some keyboards but the A1200's characters are printed on quite loosely. Ionic surfactants and hot dishwasher salt might erase them!

Removing the keys is a bit more difficult on Amigas too since a lot of them have little bars underneath with springs.

You can whiten a keyboard considerably with those disposable wipes like CiF/Flash and for monitor screens OptiClear disposable non-smear wipes.

If the plastic has yellowed then bleach won't help (it might make it yellower) so the only option is to use a spray like PlastiKote.

I wonder how long this lasts on the actual keys though...
