Actually, if you pop the keys off, throw them in a "collander" or mesh basket and
put them in the dishwasher, that's what we do all the time at work, Never caused ANY
problem at all, even when set for HI-Temp wash & rinse, however we do NOT let them
go through the dry cycle.  Just use regular automatic dish washer detergent, then use
"409" or what ever house hold cleaner, or even rubbing alcohol to clean the keyboard
enclosure while the keys are removed.  Comes out looking like new.  We do this every
6 months or so to keep things clean...
