Here goes: Using a torq 8 screwdriver (Sears $3) remove the 3 screws from the underside of the case to release the keyboard. Lift the keyboard up and disconnect the two ribbon cables. There are two small white square tabs that you push on with the point of a pair of tweezers to loosen each cable.
Using the flat end of a spoon or knife, pop up the keys and set them in sequential order. Take special note of the wide keys as they each have a stabilizer wire that's tricky to replace. Keep feline creatures and small children out of the room, unless you want to test your memory on where each key goes. <grin>
Once you have the keys off, lift off the rubber membrane and the two mylar sheets. Rinse in distilled water, rub with nothing harsher than your own clean wet fingers. Some people recommend alcohol, some use a dilute dish soap, the main thing is get it clean but don't leave a film and don't rub any scratches in the mylar. Blot dry with something non-linting, paper towel or the like. Replace all, being careful not to torque the screws too tight as that can cause the keys to work flaky on it's own.
