I see lots of different advise here, which should clearly indicate there are
different solutions (no pun intended) to this problem.  The truth is that not
all keyboards are created equally, (i.e. mechanical vs optical, mylar film, 
etc) so the clean-up technique should be suitable to the equipment involved.  

If you are paid a decent salary for the time you spend at your keyboard, you 
would probably save them money by pitching the thing and grabbing a 
new one "off the shelf".  What is your time worth?

I speak only for myself and not the company.  One of our engineers here tries
to recycle blank white paper in the LaserJet and usually ends up jamming it,
then everyone else (many of them well paid engineers) waits for their 
printouts, while I try to un-jam it.
