I will use my normal cleaning procedure of toothbrush and tapwater,
and letting things dry naturally.
Anyone have suggestions for the specific case of semi-dried Coke ?
About 10 years ago, I had to clean up a Mac SE/30 and keyboard that
met with a glass of juice, and IIRC, some "friendly" cats. I dumped
everything in my parents deepsink, let it soak good in hot water,
then rinsed it good under the tap water. Then I stuck it in the food
dryer they made in the 70's (the size of a small refrigerator) for a
day. Worked just fine after that (well the SE/30 needed the fuse
that blew when the juice was dumped replaced).
