  • Cleaning an Alesis QS8 keyboard - Yellow keys, dead keys

    You can remove yellowing by mixing toothpaste and peroxide and applying to the white keys. I would avoid contact with the black ones? The process can be sped up by exposure to uv rays. (Sunlight) the toothpaste just helps hold the peroxide in place. Time
    required varies dependent upon your mixture,degree of yellowing, and amount of sunlight exposure once applied.
