   I assume you have tried washing it in warm water with a little washing-up
liquid, rinsing it with clean water, then leaving it in the sun to dry. I
have seen rather larger, more expensive, keyboards get this treatment. Voted
worst so far is Coke, which includes lots of sugar plus the same acid as
rust remover. My home TV has staggered on for another 20 years after I
washed the dust and general grime off, then hosed it down and left it in the
garden to dry.
