How do you repair a keyboard after spilling something sticky on it?

Its probably a little late now but you turn the keyboard upside down to let as much drip out as possible and to hopefully keep the liquid from running too far in. Sugar can fry the keyboard at which point I think you have to by a new one. But if it functions and it's just sticky, you can pry off the keys and use a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol. This is the way to get the grease and dirt off of the keys themselves. Good luck!
