RK here -
Unplug your keyboard and give it a little clean -- I had the same problem with peach juice: either the key didn't work, or it stayed down for ages giving me the same of each letter for ages! Clean it with a bit of wet tissue whilst unpugged, let it dry and plug it back in. Or get a new keyboard, up to you. A friend of mine has gone through 4 keyboards so far this year, but like he says "I'm not going to stop drinking tea at the computer".
Lens-cleaning brushes are good as well.
This is your mission, should you choose to accept it.
Good luck, 007!

RK again -
By the way, you can lever individual keys off, but that might take a while and it's not guaranteed that you'll be able to put them back on again. Incidentally, frequent use of the keyboard will unstick the keys but in the meanwhile you'll make frequent spelling mistakes. And you'll have sticky fingers each time you use the computer.

RK yet again --
If you're going to lever up keys, it seems that the space bar and n and m keys are a priority.
az knows about this as well, if you want more advice ask her.

, This really is terri this time.
you need to realise the previous` advice`was donated by RK *after* returning from the bar and before his restorative cheese toastie, meanwhile i am eating mine and probably dropping crumbs into his beloved laptop....doubt it will appreciate having its keys levered off....

As long as your keyboard isn't attached to a laptop, you can wash it under a tap. Just make sure it's dry before trying to use it again.

Tryinstead???
Hey, you go through keyboards like i go through modems, we should be able to set up some sort of swap shop here.
Can you REALLY wash them under the tap??? visions of the washing up including many keyboards nestling amongst the and cups.
Could you take the really bad ones to the launderette? (tempted to ask which programme...)
