Will soapy water destroy a Macbook Pro keyboard?

I live in a place where it's very difficult to get isopropyl alcohol. Can I clean my Macbook keyboard with a slightly damp cloth with soapy water (hand soap) instead?

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.5)

Should I clean my mac keyboard with wet wipes or kitchen towl squeezed with water? Hey guys! I'm wondering if I should go to the kitchen, grab one of those little towls, put it in water and squeeze it than use it to clean my macbook air or use wet wipes, if you could answer both questions that would be awesome! My MacBook Air got repaired a week ago so I am trying to take better care of it now and theres just a bit of dust on the keyboard next to the keys (tiny bit, hard to see). How should I go about cleaning this? should I use the method I mentioned?

How should I clean my keyboard? I recently used a wet towel to clean my keyboard. A friend got me worried sick when he told me it might damage it. The water was less than a millimeter thick and I cleaned it off within 5 seconds. Anything to worry about and should I continue this practice? Any other strategies to clean it effectively?

How to Thoroughly Clean - Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad Hello Mac Geniuses! So my cat vomited on my Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad. I quickly cleaned it off with multiple dry paper towels, got all the debris off, and it seems to be working fine. I'm afraid to get the keyboard wet at all, even though cleaning directions indicate using a "slightly damp" cloth. I watched a video on how to remove keys from the keyboard, but I don't really want to do that. Do you have any recommendations/suggestions on cleaning (or not cleaning) the keyboard any further? I'm a little paranoid because I ruined an old wireless keyboard (from my 2012 27" iMac) by simply spilling water on it. Thanks!

Soapy water is not the best as it makes it more difficult for the water to evaporate. Fill a spray bottle up with water and spray very lightly onto a microfibre cloth and gently wipe the keys using very little pressure. Please be very careful.
