For a keyboard like that, you have three options: 1) Dishwasher (if it's the
type that can be cleaned that way—the thing is to make sure it's ABSOLUTELY
bone-dry before using it again); 2) Total disassembly and painstaking detailed
cleaning; or 3) Buy a new keyboard!
You must eat and drink at your keyboard, I'm guessing...lol

This thing is so grungy it's gonna have to be swabbed in a biohazard isolation
tent. Canned air won't loosen the many particles of cookies, cakes, pies,
crackers, etc., that have found their way into all the nooks and crannies. I've
tried it.

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.
