Put it in the dishwasher!

Really! Here's some (typing free) guidance.

Alternate plan:

Make a key extractor. Take a paperclip and bend it into a triangle with one side slightly longer than the side of a key. Slip the paperclip under the key and gently pull the key away from the keyboard.

Get a box of Q-tips and some isopropyl alcohol. Use the isopropyl alcohol to gently scrub the area under the keys. Allow alcohol to dry.

Replace your keys.

I did remove the keys to dry things out, but hadn't thought of the alcohol. That should fix my reluctant comma.

Oops, sorry for you. They do clean up tho.

The results are quite humorous.
