I have these hi-tech Logitech wireless keyboards. The old ones were easy to open (well it was a little tricky though) but the new ones are actually completely closed opening will destroy the keyboard.
But whatever, I used to open the keyboard completely and only took the dirty parts and just clean them in the shower.

Because I can't clean my newer keyboards this way, I take the batteries out and cover the electronical parts (not the keys). Then I just clean them with water, carefully.

When it's not really that dirty I usually use compressed air with a vaccuum cleaner next to it, which works pretty good for small solid parts and dust.

None of these are possible to do to my keyboard while I'm at work. Well, I COULD get into the shower that's in the bathroom, but I'll pass.

Although I suppose I could take it home with me, it's wireless anyway....

I extract the buttons, turn it upside-down then pats it strongly on the back and try and get out as much of the initial dust and clutter as possible.
After off it's manual work, fingers & twizers to pluck all the shit out, perhaps with a moist cloth, the kind they sell for cleaning monitors, as well.
And for finish a compressed-air brush for a swift sweep.

Ya, I just tested your idea, with a old keyboard, and it came out a little bit deformed....

As for me, I just use compressed air and a keyboard vacume for big chunks. If that doesn't work, I get mad, and use my paintball gun (not loaded, of course).

First, you don't use soap. Second, you don't use heat drying.

Probably not as well on wireless keyboards, but there's nothing better for a wired one.
