Cleaning a keyboard

So yesterday I made the mistake of knocking over a really sticky drink next to my keyboard. It still works fine but many of the keys are sticky. I took them all out, swilled in water but a few hours later a lot of them become sticky again, and my only temporary fix is to take them out, wipe them down and replace.

What's the best way to give them a real good permanent clean? I'm using a Razer Lycosa so it's pretty thin plastic.

Oh, and when I say sticky I don't mean the surface, I mean they stick when I press them. Some press in easy enough but then return to default slowly, and because I type very lightly some don't respond as I don't press hard enough to break the sugary seal.
