Cleaning Macbook Pro Keyboard

Is there a specific way I can/should clean my keyboard? I have bought a can of air from the store, but that did not seem to do the trick. I have 4 keys that keep sticking so I want to try to get down further and clean them. I heard you can use rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, but I don't want to ruin anything. Is this acceptable to use?

Keyboard Covers:

What type of display is on your MacBook Pro? If it is not retina, then a Keyboard Cover is great to consider. This is because keyboard covers are meant to help prevent residue from getting between and below keys on your keyboard. I use one on my MacBook Pro, which has a glossy display.


However, Do NOT use a keyboard cover on a MacBook Pro that has a retina type display. View this Apple Support Communities reply for such reasons, as to why.
