How to get rid of dust in keyboard

Scitesh

I  have a m800  and due to dust accumulation I  can't  use some of the keys as they are not registered  these include numpad:3,4,5

Keypad h,j,m,b,p,a

Macros 0,3,4

Plz.help  also I am hoping it is just dust and nothing more

By  can of spray does he mean 

Compressed air?

Also  can I  use one of  those  screen cleaners instead of alcohol?

screen cleaner can mean anything so i would never use that, if it is part solvent than it will definitly damage your keyboard in some way. i've had screen cleaners damage my screen. you don't really need alcohol or anything like that if you don't have it on hand, you can try it without first and see if it helps. or try it on a non cosmetic part of the keyboard to see if it damages it, its not going to melt trough it its just going to remove any texture features it might have, if it damages the keyboard that is. and yea canned air=compressed air.

Use vacuum clean with brush attachment and some foam spray and ear buds sorted .

I used the air pump that  repairmen  use alongside  ear buds

And was able to bring most of the keys back to life 

Yet B  

Numpad 2&3 

And M0 &M3 are  not working

I use a paintbrush although have a K65 so it is easy to clean.
