I found a simple way to clean my keyboards...
1. Pop off all of the keys.
2. Put the keys in a bowl about twice the size you would think you would need.
3. Add a little bit of dishwashing liquid to the bowl.
4. Run hot water into the bowl for about 3 - 5 minutes.
5. While the keys are "washing", turn your keyboard upside-down and bang the bottom edge on your table or desk to get out all the loose debris.
6. Strain the water.
7. Dump the keys on to a towel and wrap them up.
8. Shake vigorously for several minutes to dry the keys.
9. Let the keys sit on the towel, but unwrapped until fully dry.
10. Replace the keys on your keyboard in the proper locations.
Note, you may want to take a picture of your keyboard before you take off all the keys. It'll be a lot easier than trying to remember where every key goes.
