What's your keyboard eating?

  Do you all clean your computer keyboard regularly?
  
  How do you clean it? Do you just wipe across, or do you remove every single key and wash them in water, or do you just overturn the keyboard and knock the dirt out?
  
  I've not cleaned my keyboard thoroughly... I think there's porridge, ciabatta, potato chips, maybe a noodle strand or two, biscuit crumbs and dunno what else.
  
  Oops, I just spotted a sesame hiding behind my ESC key.

  Firstly, I'm heartened to know I'm not the only gross one around.
  
  Secondly, I will try the home vacuum cleaner later and see if it works.
