One of the Authorized Apple Dealers in Toronto actually does some service. If
you ask them very nicely, they'll sell you parts. Replacement keyswitches for
Apple IIe keyboards are $7 each. You are advised to bring the original switch
with you, as there are four (that I know of) different keyswitches used in
Apple IIe keyboards.

You really cannot clean the contacts because the keyswitches are each discrete
sealed units, that can be opened, but are not easily closed. I have replaced
three keys on my Apple IIe... nothing important, just the "d", the "n", and
the "s", I think.
