Annonying Sticky Keys?

Question

Making this question again since nobody would answer the first time here we go again...
So, I spilled something, can't remember what, into my keyboard. I've pulled up the sticking keys and applied rubbing alcohol the first time. When I got home from school, they were sticky again! This time, I applied water. This is the third day and they're very sticky still! Anyway to fix? Other people use this computer too and I'm very sure they wouldn't be happy to use the onscreen touch keyboard.

I once spilled honey on my keyboard. It became really sticky and smelled horrid. Here is how I fixed it.

I turned the computer off and took the battery out (for safety). Then I got a damp cloth and wiped the keyboard to get rid of the honey.

Then I filled a cup with soapy water. I gently removed the keys from the keyboard. You can do this by lifting them gently from the corner. Don't worry - they reattach!! Before you do this take a photo of your laptop keyboard so you know where to put the keys back.

I dropped all the keys into the cup and let them soak in there for a few hours. Then I let them dry for a while. Finally I reattached them. And they weren't sticky anymore!!

Rubbing alcohol is also good to clean around the keys. Dip a cotton tip into rubbing alcohol and paint it around the keys before you put the keys back.

Make sure everything is completely dry before you turn your laptop back on.

Here is a wikihow article if you still need help.

If it is still sticky after doing so then either take apart the whole keyboard to clean it, and if that does not work then you may have to get a separate keyboard to use with it (assuming its part of a laptop)
