[CAUT] Cleaning Key sides

[tannertuner]

I've seen everybody talk about razor blades. But a straight bladed pocket knife blade gives much better control.

Dave,
 
I employ used single-edged razor blades (that I've used in key-bushing and what-not) as scrapers to remove the gunk off the sides of keys.  That way I get a little more use out of dull blades before throwing them away...

Does anyone have a favorite way to clean this kind of dirt off of keys?  I’ve cleaned many like this, but never where I was completely happy with the result.
