I usually clean the PCB and the rubber keys using a liquid detergent and wash with plenty of water. I do this because the circuit is getting dirty with a kind of grease (from hands), and alcohol doesn�t clean this. After that I dry the PCB with a hair drier. You can use the trick with the aluminum foil as Christian said, but be sure to use an adhesive that remain flexible after it�s dried out.
