Hmmmm. Would the gentles, coolest temperature be the
one for fine china? And I don't have an air-dry,
--sounds more like my clothes washer.
I'm glad for the suggestion about the cable, though.
My husband was going to try to take the keyboard apart
snd take the cable out.
We haven't tried it yet but plan to. I think I'll try
Kaitlin's plan first. It seems quickest and easiest.
If that doesn't work -- I don't know what my husband
spilled on the keyboard -- I'll try the detergent
plan.
Thanks, Gerald.
