Apple Store, or yourself and some screwdrivers. It needs to be disassembled and cleaned.

Next time, drink a diet drink; it doesn't have sugar and won't get sticky. That, or don't drink over your equipment.

lol the apple store would do it?
and i should just drink water instead, its healthier.

is it possible to just pull off the spacebar and clean underneath it?

No idea really. You can certainly try that by gently prying up on it with a screw driver or even a butter knife (something not sharp but solid). Personally, though, I'd prefer to clean it really good by dismantling it, but then again, I don't mind doing that type of thing.

Oh sure, but they'd probably charge you for it too.
