Amro,

I had to clean a keyboard for a friend once, if cleaning through the other 
mentioned options, the next step, if feeling confident enough, is to lift off 
each key individually. they usually pop off if you lift the bottom edge. They 
hinge up in some cases and a cotton bud can be used to clean underneath. In 
some case there is a rubber cup, this too can be lifted off and cleaned with 
some warm water and dried totally before replacing. Again the area where it 
sits can be cleaned with a cotton bud to remove any sticky residue. The key 
then can be placed into position and pressed firmly down replacing it into its 
place.

Hope this is of help.

Mike
