This resource explains how to clean your keyboard on a 2015 or newer Macbook and MacBook Pro. There is a hyperlink at the bottom for cleaning other Apple products. I would recommend trying to clean it first and if the issue persists to then visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
