(And my keyboard would be higher on the priority list of things to improve thorough cleaning of, but that's probably just me.) Edit: what about in between a fork's teeth? (Hope they're also called teeth in english, correct me if not, in that case I mean the individual prongs.) That seems somewhat similar if less elongated
