Wont it harm the plastic?

How would it damage the plastic? A laptop keyboard is probably made of different plastic than a lighter though. I've used the stuff to remove polish from the bathroom sink a few times. Well I'll give information technology a try. I use acetone free stuff if that's any assistance?

I use nail polish remover for cleaning and have never had it impairment anything.

CNbc> you don't need to leave information technology off for long. Just do it then dry the keys with a flake of tissue. As I keep saying, don't use too much so it runs in betwixt the keys and under them, then you could accept a problem.

I'm only suggesting... I'yard not proverb information technology will damage or not, just pointing out what nail polish did to another type of 'hard' plastic.

Hang on, I'll become bank check what type of remover information technology was. I'll come dorsum on and edit in.

EDIT; It was the Boots conditioning Acetone Gratis nail polish removing pads. My fingers stuck in a sticky type way to the lighter, and when I moved them off, the hard plastic where my fingers had been, was no longer all shine, only rough, as though the veneer came off (mayhap a lacquer blanket or something).

I'd detest for you to ruin the keyboard, that's all.
