My computer keyboard has sticky keys

I am having trouble with sticky keys on my computer keyboard, where certain keys feel physically sticky and often fail to register or repeat when pressed, making typing extremely difficult and frustrating. I would appreciate any advice on how to safely clean the keyboard or determine if it needs to be replaced.

    Lightly dampen a soft cloth or cotton swab with 70% or higher isopropyl alcohol.
