If some liquid kind of spills on your keyboard, The first thing you must to do is immediately unplug the keyboard from computer and turn the keyboard over so that its keys are down( if it is a laptop do is as quickly as possible so that the liquid doesn’t descend into the hardware).This will allow the liquid to drain out.
While the keyboard is upside down use a cloth to remove as much as liquid possible. If you have a compressed can air or a vacuum one, while the keyboard is upside down blow or vacuum it out. Then let the keyboard set upside down for at least a night so that it can dry out.Later you can use the disinfectant method to keep clean it.
Keyboards are quite resilient and so it should work when you turn it on again. Hope this helps you, but the best thing to do is to avoid having any liquids near keyboard.
