Do computer places clean laptop keyboards and how much would this cost? There is a lot of small crumbs in it. I don't want to take off the keyboard.

Maybe use some compressed air. I can't imagine a shop paying someone to sit there and spend a ton of time cleaning a nasty keyboard when it could just be replaced pretty cheaply.

There is a thread on this opened two days ago:

If you have the technical expertise to operate a can of compressed air you can do it yourself...

Compressed air can possibly blow the debris deeper into the keyboard or laptop. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to help dislodge debris, and to prevent the inadvertent sucking a key-top off.

Keep one hand on the laptop while doing this to ground it. Good luck find a bit of metal to touch...
