  1. Wipe off any excess mud or gunk with a paper towel.

  2. Run hot water over your house keys to loosen the remaining soil.

  3. Apply a couple drops of dish soap onto the keys.

  4. Scrub the keys vigorously with the brush, turning them over and paying extra attention to the grooves and cutouts.

  5. Rinse the entire set of keys under running water for one minute, moving them around so that no soap remains.

  6. Dry your house keys with a paper towel and you’re ready to go.

Things You Will Need

  • Small scrub brush or old tooth brush
  • Rubber gloves (optional)
