I need advice from anyone with experience.
My niece spilled pepsi on my keyboard and
all though I got to it quick and cleaned it up.
some of it went through the cracks in the keys
and now my five and seven stick.
I have been told that you can pop the keys off
to clean underneith, but I am afraid to in case I
have been misinformed and can't get them back on.
Any suggestions?

Yes, you can pop the keys off but be careful not to damage the keys. After you pop it off, clean it with a damp cloth until the stickiness disappears.
If you're afraid to do it you should call a computer technician to do it for you.

I will be careful. I just bought this keyboard and don't
particularly want to buy another. Thanks!

If you have lot of time to spare then unscrew the screws fitted on the bottom of the keyboard.
If you dont have much time then you can use a screwdriver or something to pull up the keys without the need for unscrewing the keyboard.
Else contact a technician who has the knowledge.

Holy cow! I didn't even know those screws were there!
I just turned my keyboard over to look!
Shows you how much I know!
