OMGoodness!!! before it's too late try to use a blowdryer on "low", and then flip your keyboard face down over night..
I spilled soda on a key board about 9 months ago, ended up getting a new one because the moisture set in over night ..
good luck!

Just gently dismantle the keyboard. Its very easy, and it only takes a few minutes to disassemble and reassemble. Don't worry the keyboard will function properly because it has a protective covering that prevents dust from contacting with the internal components. The problem now is the awful smell, Once you have disassembled everything, wipe the protective covering and if you want, give the keys a wash in warm water.

there r only abt 8 or 10 screws on the underside of the keyboard,if all else fail, then just open up the keyboard, its very easy, and clean and dry out with a fine rag,,and put it back.. and ur keyboard is gonna be as good as new. I usually open my keyboards and then wipe and clean out the keys, just the topside of the keyboard where all the keys are

These are mostly good answers but you really can take out the batteries ,put the key board upside down in a dishwasher and wash it,then put it out in the sun for a while to make sure it is very dry inside and out.If you don't have dishwasher then the kitchen sink with warm soapy water but make sure that you rinse it very very well.
When you are sure that every thing is dry,put the batteries back in and away you go.
If you decide to pull it apart as suggested above then good luck if your keys fall out of the board

spray some clean stuff lightly onto a paper towel and clean the keyboard from the top. go over it this way 2 or three times. do a test with your finger nail or a butter knife to see if the key buttons can be pried off. i think they may be able to be pried off and re-attached. be very careful. pry them off and detail clean with a q-tip and paper towel, then re-attach the button. concentrate on making a clean-up system so you do not attach keys in the improper place.
