Disabling your MacBook's keyboard for cleanup

Apple recommends turning off your MacBook before you try to clean it. To keep it switched off, you need to use a few software tricks. Your MacBook ships with a hidden key combination to disable the keyboard temporarily, which I discovered thanks to Zsolt Benke's blog, Decoded. Follow these steps to stop your MacBook from turning on when you press any key:

While pressing the other three keys, hold the power button on your MacBook for another seven seconds until the MacBook has switched off.

You should know that this method only works for one restart. If you turn off your MacBook normally again, any key will boot it up unless you use the method described above. In their blog, Benke notes that they were unable to make this method work on an M3 MacBook Air, so you may not be able to use this trick on all MacBooks. It works just fine on my M1 MacBook Air, however.

KeyboardCleanTool has a single button that lets you enable or disable your MacBook's keyboard. When the keys no longer respond, you can use your MacBook's trackpad or a mouse to press the tool's on/off button whenever necessary. 

How to clean your Mac's keyboard

While you can lightly moisten the cloth for cleaning the Mac's keyboard, you should use the least possible amount of water. If your cleaning tool is too wet, you could risk damaging the keyboard and paying a significant sum for repairs or replacements. Never use any coarse or metal tools for cleaning, as well, to avoid accidentally scraping the keyboard. When using disinfectant wipes, ensure that the wipe is lightly damp, even if the chemical is approved by Apple for cleaning. Lastly, be gentle. If you use abrasive materials or apply excessive force while cleaning the keyboard, you could end up erasing letters off keys, dislodging keycaps, in addition to other unintended consequences. It's easy to remove keycaps on your MacBook, but you're going to find it difficult to reattach them properly, so it's best to apply less force while cleaning the keyboard.

Once you're done, wait for the disinfectant to evaporate. Ensure that the keyboard is totally dry before you use it again.
