I read this thread and as I have a very nice coffee stained keyboard
that I am fond of I decided to try the dishwasher (well it was no use as
it was) and it worked.
It looks like new too :-)
I used Finnish in liquid for and only half the normal amount and left
the keyboard in one piece.I also used the top shelf away from the heater
element.
