Clean a keyboard
So I spilled milk on my keyboard, and I was wondering since I have an Alienware 15 am I able to remove keys off my keyboard without breaking them to clean it? If not are there any efficient and effective cleaning methods?

All milk must be removed from computer. This might require getting a new keyboard to save the computer.
Do not tilt or flip laptop. If milk gets under keyboard onto motherboard, it is much harder to clean out.

I used rubbing alcohol and q-tips... don't soak the q-tip and keep the laptop keyboard upside down or on its side at least. you don't need to soak the keyboard but rub the damp q-tip along the edge of the keys... spilt soda on my keyboard and the above method was told to me by geek squad and worked great.
