Default had a little accident

Anyone computer savvy?So i spilled coffee on my 3 week old laptop.It was on,I turned it off and took the battery out it seemed to be fine when it turned off,turned it upside down let it dry for a day turned it on works fine but how do i get the stickiness out of the keys?and should i still take it in to get it all out? Thanks

As in keys sticking down or just sticky to the touch? If it's the second a little rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball works wonders.

This is for a desktop keyboard, but I suspect the same theory would work on a laptop.

thanks for responding guys i guess im taking it to the pros because they said the coffee is still inside on the core and everything else and they will most likely replace the keyboard
