If you want to fix up your old keyboard, put it in a dishwasher, on the
top rack (with the keycaps facing down), and run it thru a normal wash
cycle, using normal dishwashing detergent, it'll do the trick. Of course
afterward you have to let the keyboard dry out really good before using
it, but I would assume you already know that from your experience with
the bath.
