this may not work for everyone, but it sure did for me. I removed the top of the keyboard. I left the thin plastic sandwich panels which make the electrical connection when you depress a key. The keys were all retained in their holes on the top section (outer frame and key layout) of the keyboard, so I didn't have to worry about remembering which one went into which hole. So I had the plastic parts with no electrial connections. I put it in our dishwasher at home and it came out sparking clean. You may want to take a moist cloth and wipe off the sandwiched plastic key pad but you should be very carefull not to get water in between or it will give you erratic, spastic short circutis. A hair dryer ought to take care of it if you do get a little moisture inside the sandwich. I opened up the sandwich and used canned air to clean out dust, etc., as well as the keyboard base. Good luck. Your mileage may vary. Bill
