I have taken my keyboard apart and cleaned the board/keys/etc in 
distilled water.  Trick is to let the whole thing dry before you plug 
it in.  Leave it apart for a night or so and you should be ok.

For really stained keycaps try Windex or some other cleaner.  Be sure 
to try it on a "non-essential" key first.  Sometimes it will take off 
the markings (on real cheap ones).

As usual, YMMV and don't yell at me if it doesn't work afterwards.
