That's what we used to use in our repair department in the Apple-only computer
store I worked in years and years ago. It does work pretty great, without doing
an extremely time-consuming (and, I think, a bit unnecessary, unless you're
OCD!) complete disassembly of a keyboard. Also? Don't eat and drink in front of
your computer, and dust your keyboard regularly (or keep a dust cover over it
when you're not using your computer)!

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....

CAUTION: Other Apple keyboards can be disassembled and cleaned basically the
same way, except for the newer “Chiclet” keyboards with a flimsy metal top
frame glued to a white plastic bottom. It’s impossible to take those apart
without melting keys or distorting the aluminum. I know, I’ve tried and failed.
More than once.
