spilled cola stuck/sticky buttons

soo yesterday I spilled cola over my iphone 5 it has a screen protector and a case and I could easily wipe all the cola off the screen but some of it got into the volume buttons and silent switch they still function correctly except that it is really hard to press them it requires a lot more force and I don't want to break anything

I'm afraid that unscrewing my iphone to clean it voids my warranty but I don't know another way to clean it

so does anyone know a way to clean it?

iPhone 5

the sticky stuff in my iphone buttons wore off after about 5 days they're working and clicky again

moral of the story

don't clean your stuff just wait for it to wear off and it'll clean itself don't bother asking on the forums either cause no one will help you anyway
