Dell E1705 Keyboard problem

Hey, I just got my laptop yesterday and I was using it in my girlfriend's room when she accidentally spilled a vase full of rose water that partially got onto the right side of my keyboard. Now I can see little water droplets (tiny ish) on my LCD screen and my right buttons that got spilled on are now sticky. They still work fine, but is there any way to get rid of this stickyness or the sweat droplets? I was thinking about buying compressed air and spraying the keyboard....

    as you know for laptops, the keys are easily to detach.  Just pull it out and clean out the sticky keys and snap it back in.

    Do I just use a pointy object to pop the buttons off and clean it and then pop it back in?

    yea you can use the small flat head screw driver to ply it out, but do it slowly and carefully.  Notebook Keyboard keys are meant to snap off and snap back in.
