I have in the past managed to gently prise the keys off of a keyboard and carefully clean the area underneath, wask the keys and replace them after a similar tea/keyboard interface. If you think the KB is written off anyway then you have nothing to lose. They're cheap enough these days anyway. Speaking of keyboards, I'm about to do this to an absent co-workers in readiness for his return to work next week. He doesn't use it much anyway.

You can always rinse the keyboard under the tap which will wash the stickyness out. Leave it to dry naturally and all should be fine. DO NOT DO THIS IF IT A LAPTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We occasionally wash out keyboards because traders are always spilling things. Or you could just ride down to Canary Wharf for a coffee and I will give you a new keyboard FOC from our vast store

Not a laptop keyboard no unfortunately.
Is it a USB keyboard you need or a PS2. Seriously bring it down and I can check it out for you. If you going to I can text you the addy etc
