Strip completely every now and then, wash with hot water and dish soap, dry, reassemble
too many people in my office whine when i strip down.
ohhh wait, thats not what you were referring to.....
theres an easier solution. swap keyboards with someone who is cleaner than you are.
i do it with my mouse every couple of months.
Umm, Since I use a ThinkPad - I don't think cleaning mine in the dishwasher, under the sink, or tossing it is an option.

Actually, Steve, it still is- if you turn it over, there are two or three screws with a little imprint of a keyboard next to them (My R40 has two such screws).
If you back those screws out, you can remove the keyboard from the rest of the laptop and go to town cleaning! Although I'd make sure it's still under warantee before actually putting the keyboard in water though.

LOL I just do it the lazy way... since my T30 is still under warantee... when it gets bads I just call IBM up and they send me a new keyboard... but that being said... I usually just use compressed air if I want to keep it clean without calling the company
Make sure you keep track of where all the keys go if you take them all out at once, or else you will need to follow a keyboard diagram.
Feh
That's the fun part of cleaning out my keyboard: it gives me a pop quiz on how well I know a standard QWERTY 104-key layout.
Though I admit, to my shame, that I did live for a while in college with my 'n' and 'm' keys reversed...what's shocking is how long it took me to realize the problem...
