I recently had a spill, and decided to try the dishwasher route, but  
without any detergents as they are very caustic.

After a rinsing, I poured a half bottle of 70% alcohol into the  
keyboard, swished it around, poured it out and repeated with a 99%  
alcohol solution. I let the Keyboard dry.

Several keys still did not operate correctly. I repeated the alcohol  
treatment, but no success.

The good news is that the price of a new Apple keyboard has dropped  
to just under $40 CDN
