That's what I did when my old Mac board came home from an extended visit as
ambassador. It was so grimy and stuck up with coffee spillings.
I took it apart and dunked it in warm (not hot) water and gently swished
water over the circuit board and all. It hadn't been used for quite some
time so the capacitors would have been drained.
I scrubbed the case well and put it all to air dry for three days. Well,
there was one key stayed "pressed" and typing on it, so I left it ten
days. Tested as I went.
now it's working great!
Broke one board just trying to snap it open though, they can be brittle and
tight.
They're no fun to type on when the top keeps springing up.
At work I've cleaned keyboards with a damp rag with pine oil cleaner in the
rinse water. Depress the rows of keys and use a squeezed out rag. Those
boards got pretty grimy before I was hired.

Failing for having moved too fast sets you back farther than caution would
have.
