What I've done with older keyboards is to use "canned air," (which actually is a compressed inert gas), by just blowing the snot out of 'em. Some of that gas does liquify in that process but since it's inert no harm comes out of it and the job gets done.
Regarding the more modern aluminum keyboards, the same applies except that the "cleaning" as you described is limited as is accumulated dust/debris within. I think that once something goes wrong with these units, there is little in the way of options for recovery remedies....
