[sdiy] Key cleaning

[Ken Stone]

Personally, I'd stick with "mild detergent" as per the manufacturers
recommendations - namely dishwashing liquid. The alcohol may be okay on the
keys, but you might find yourself accidently lifting paint, silk screening
etc at the same time. Alcohol and laquer don't go together - found that out
the hard way after lifting paint off my car!
