    I spilled a tad bit of soda on my keyboard. Thankfully, I moved quickly and had my computer off and flipped over in a matter of seconds. There doesn't appear to be any real damage, but just to be sure, I want to give my keyboard a thorough cleaning. Can somebody with some experience in doing so give me some advice? Bonus points if you have a way that doesn't involve me removing my keyboard.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    removing the keyboard isnt really that hard. there are plenty of disassembly youtube videos that show this. If you really dont want to remove the keyboard maybe the most you can do is wipe it down with a slightly damp paper towel and dry it off but idk.
