how to disable autoboot to clean keyboards?

When I shut down my MacBook Pro M1 2022, to clean the keyboard, it wakes up just touching a key. How can I disable autoboot? Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5

There is ample time from when you open the lid until the login screen appears to make multiple swipes of the keyboard using a microfiber cloth — if dust is the concern. If the keys really need cleaning with a slightly damp cloth, then you may need to do this across a couple of boot cycles.


I have a 16-in 2021 MBP M1 Pro and that is my procedure, aside from washing my hands after meals and snacks where finger content would be transferred to the keys.
