I cleaned my keyboard now numbers 1-9 won't work

I cleaned my keyboard now numbers 1-9 don't work. So i did what someone suggested and removed the paired bluetooth then tried pairing again, so because numbers are not working I now cannot pair the keyboard. Any Help please would be greatly appreciated.

I only use a moist cloth to clean the keys on my keyboards. If you sprayed any solution directly on the keyboard, then that is likely why your keys are inoperable as that liquid got down into the keyboard circuitry. Check with an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, but it is likely you will need to replace the keyboard to be on the safe side.
