I think the main problem with using the bluetooth is that it probably lets the built in keyboard get really gummed up. I'm considering getting one of those wide bottomed nautical cups, they're pretty hard to knock over ( my spillage was actually due to the boat rocking). There is video of key removal at, which doesn't look too painful. I'm going with the electrical switch cleaner option ( although I think I'll need to take at least a couple of key caps off for entry and exit) I've disabled the built in keyboard ( sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext/ I'm using a bluetooth keyboard ( apple, natch). As seems usual from comments here, it started off with one partly sticky key, and has been getting worse. I was pretty sure I'd killed my MBP and would have to buy another, but after leaving it in pieces for a day, I found out I'd only killed the battery and the keyboard. I came here looking for answers, as I've recently dosed my MBP in wine. in Berlin, Germany)? Does Apple offer such a service? Enter KeyboardCleanTool, a free utility from the maker of BetterTouchTool, which does one thing: it locks the keyboardpreventing any key. Why Because touching any key either wakes the Mac from sleep or boots it up (if already shut down).
Are there any companies who offer such a cleaning service (preferably locally, i.e. Cleaning the keyboard is doable on an external keyboard, but on a modern MacBook, it’s impossible. Is there a way of cleaning the space between keys and base plate without voiding the warranty? I would also be willing to dig into my purse in order to get the problem solved. However, with a MBP (and still running Apple Care extended support) I don't want to void my warranty that easily and risk destroying something. On a "normal" laptop I would just remove the keys by pushing a small knife between them and pulling them free, then clean them one by one. However, now, one day later, the keys are starting to get really sticky and the problem actually gets worse and worse to point that some keys barely respond anymore. One or two keys were the slightest bit sticky but I hoped that time would solve this problem. Afterwards, I restarted and everything seemed to work well. I immediately switched the laptop off, pulled the plug (battery as well) and dried the keyboard as best as I could. I've committed the Ultimate Sin™ by spilling juice over my keyboard.
