This was with the old desktop keyboards. I'd really hesitate to put a laptop keyboard through that. Here at work, we routinely use windex or Formula 409 sprayed on a paper towel then applied to the keys, followed by some isopropyl alcohol (you can get 90%, we just go steal some hplc-grade pure stuff from one of the labs) again, put on a paper towel, not directly on the keyboard. Takes a little effort, since you basically wrap the damp towel around a forefinger and do each key individually, but it cleans them up rather nicely. The only ones we haven't figured out how to clean effectively are the old clear Mac keyboards, the ones just prior to the current ultra-flat version.
