No! No! No!

Contact cleaner will ruin //c keyboard switches .... trust me, I tried it
and had to buy a new keyboard.

Even stranger, elec. cleaner is the standard Apple procedure even though
Apple knows it ruins keyboards.  Store I bought the new keyboard from says
they stopped cleaning keyboards after they ruined the fifth one.  They just
replace keyswitches and keyboards -- no cleaning.
