Power off the computer and disconnect the keyboard before servicing.

If you have a vacuum cleaner with a small attachment, you can use that to
vacuum debris from the surface and between the keys. For large pieces of
debris, you may be able to turn the keyboard upside down and shake it
vigorously.

Check with your keyboard manufacturer to see whether you can remove the
keycaps safely. This makes the keyboard much easier to clean.

To clean the surface, use a rag *dampened* not *dripping wet* with rubbing
alcohol or a plastic cleaner. Make sure you don't get moisture down into the
keys. If you do, allow the keyboard to dry thoroughly before reconnecting it
and powering on the computer.

If you have stains or pen, marker, etc. use the same cleaner with a
toothbrush, and brush in circular strokes. If this fails, try an adhesive
remover such as Goo Gone (tm).

HTH.

I've got a lot of dust and other such particles on my keyboard.  How
do I clean it off?

Thank you.
