This is the most valuable piece of advice you can give.
Always wash your hands first!
Tesco Imperial Vodka (35cl) £3.60
Is "value" any different that "finest"? It's like organic = leave some mud on, inorganic = wash mud off... I don't trust supermarkets...
Tesco Value Vodka only comes in 70cl bottles. And while it is cheaper per litre, a single bottle of it is £6.23.

I am sure the OP can think of something to do with the remainder.

Unfortunately, Tesco Value Vodka is only good for killing fish and plants. Not drinking.
I always take my non-latex gloves off first but that is because they are usually covered with pink dye and I don't want my MB pink.
I remember my friend once used meths or white spirit, something like that, to clean his (bog standard pc) keyboard, ended up melting all the keys together

My friend says
he unplugs it and put it in the dishwasher on the top shelf at full cycle and to make sure it is extra dry, he then pops it into the microwave for 2 minutes, works like a charm he tells me.
It even says on the bottom of the keyboard, dishwasher and microwave safe.
BTW he works for Dell.

That's because their parts come from dishwashers.
There are more germs on the average computer keyboard than on toilet seats. I know Mac users are a little more particular, nonetheless, cleaning the keyboard warrants solution with a little more oomph than water. I think what the poster above mentioned is the best option.
I frequently lick my keyboard to get it clean.
In all seriousness though, when it comes time, I just unplug the kb, find whatever cleaner happens to be around, spray a bit on a rag, and go to town.
And, having that wonderful transparent kb, I also need to grab the vacuum, because it can get looking absolutely nasty in there (my wife frequently snacks while on the computer)
