2. Clean each keyswitch using isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab. Operate the switch several times during this step.
3. Clean the switch contacts using DeoxIT Gold and a cotton swab.
3. You may lubricate the plastic parts of the switch mechanism using a plastic-safe lubricant. Armor All even works however some folks have an aversion to the product.
4. Take all the keycaps and wash them in a solution of mild detergent. Dry thoroughly and optionally shine them up with Armor All.
5. Reinstall keycaps.

I suggest this additional step.

0. Take a photo of the keyboard with your phone.
Step 5 becomes much simpler....
