Spilled Milk, Keyboard

We bought the Black Friday Wal-mart Special e-machine e-528 Laptop ($198) and it worked great until a glass of milk spilled on the keyboard. We turned it over, took out the battery, and left it upside down to dry for a few days. The top rows then had to be pushed real hard to free them up. They now push in super easy, but won't register. We removed the laptop keyboard, plugged in a USB keyboard, and everything works fine, so it's the laptop keyboard. We want to soak the old one, let it dry a few days, then plug it back in. WHAT DO WE SOAK IT IN????? We figure if a new keyboard has to be purchased, so be it....If soaking frees up the registering ability, even better!! The way we see it, we have nothing to loose, except a few days.
