I was going to suggest that in my previous reply, but I wasn't sure if anyone would believe that it could be done without hurting the electronics, so I was afraid to suggest it. I have done that myself, as there is nothing that a quick dunk in water would hurt. The trick is to take it apart first, then thoroughly wash the exterior part of the keyboard, then dunk the keyboard itself in water once or twice, then lay the parts out to dry overnight. It will dry much faster if it's apart, and there's less of a chance for anything to get rusty. Next day, put it back together and you're back in business.
