Hey guys. Would appreciate your feedback! I spilled sweet coffee onto my laptop's keyboard. The laptop functions fine, but some keys are "stuck". How can I repair them without taking the laptop to the Apple store? The laptop is 2019 Macbook Pro with flatter keys. Thanks!
There is no way to clean a 2019 laptop keyboard which uses the butterfly mechanism since the coffee will get into the pivot points that cannot be cleaned since it is impossible to remove the butterfly mechanism to clean it like could be done with the scissor mechanism found on 2020+ models or 2015 and earlier models. Even then extreme care had to be taken not to damage the fragile key cap or the scissor mechanism. @leroydouglas has provide the only solution.

If you have AppleCare+ it will cover a large portion of accidental damage.

Liquid damage tends to get worse over time due to corrosion...maybe you dodged a bullet(?)
Sticky keys from spilled coffee. How to repair by myself?
