Don't use a vacuum cleaner! I've lost a few keys from doing that. Just use compressed air (or better known as an air duster). You can get that from Walmart, Target, and any office supply store.

Turn the keyboard upsidedown [preferably over a trashcan] and whack the back of it with your hand. The crumbs come out. Also, pressurized air works but the crumbs fly everywhere. A brush gets hair out.

To get the crumbs out, use compressed air, it's the very best way to do it. To clean it I would take the keys out, and use Q-Tips to get the crud out of under them (If you do this I recommend taking a digital photo of the keyboard first, so you don't put the keys back in the wrong places).
