On most keyboards, including most laptop keyboards, you can remove the
keycaps to facilitate cleaning.  Google for how to reinstall them and
how difficult it is first, though, because I have one where it is almost
impossible to get them back on correctly once removed.  On two previous
laptops I did this and it was quite simple to pop and reinstall the
keycaps, so I'm hoping this one I have now is an exception to a rule :)
