Keyboard keys are sticking from soda spill....

A partial can of soda has spilled onto the keyboard.  How do I clean these "sticky keys?"

Or, do I have to send my Inspiron 1545 to Dell for cleaning. 

It is so frustrating to use the keys because they are sticking so badly.

Thank you for any help you might be able to provide.

Plus, I just purchased this laptop in late November, 2009.  Do you think

I should  replace it?  It's been suggested to "replace the keyboard."  How

does one go about doing that?

It's not worth the time.  Replace the keyboard (at a minimum you should remove the keyboard to ensure there's no spill under it - or it could be a $400 mainboard you'll be replacing, rather than a $20 keyboard.
