Keyboard Cleaning Question

I'd guess there's a better way, but I clean my "original" IBM keyboards by
pulling the keycaps and spraying the things with a "409" equivalent, upside
down, and then rinsing (upside-down) over the kitchen sink with hot water. The
detergent makes the water run off quickly and I then let it drain and dry while
still upside down.

I've never spilled pop on them though I did, once, spill beer on one. Mainly
it's dust and dirt, and, generally, a brushing with a soft toothbrush will
remove most of that.
