I usually have good success with the foam-type screen
cleaner sold as
aerosol. It is meant not only for the glass part (tube itself), but also
for the housing, which is certainly made from the same material as the
keyboard. Apply as described: spray on, let soak for a while, then wipe
off with a paper towel. Admitted, this is a bit more tricky with a
keyboard than with a screen, but it is possible.
Even moderately filthy keyboards do not require taking off the keycaps
this way, so it's a quick method.
I usually supplement this with using Dust-Off or a similar
compressed-air product to blow out the various kinds of gook that lurk
inside. It's amazing (and disgusting!) what you'll blow out of a keyboard
that way.
