You get ten individually wrapped pre-moistened cleaners in each box of eKlenz. Just take them out and get to work. eKlenz cleans and removes dust, dirt and grime from keys. You use all sides of the cleaner, sort of like dental floss for your PC or laptop, then just let the keyboard air dry. www.eklenz.com
