Maybe don't try it on your $100 keyboard, but for the $10-$30 ones I think it's worth the small risk.
Open up the keyboard, take the electronic guts out of it, and drop the whole thing in the bath tub with some soap and water. If it is really bad, pop off the keys and use an old toothbrush to scrub it clean.

Let it dry and re-assemble.
