Help with Sticky keys on Acer Laptop

My OH spilled wine on it and while most keys are sticky the space bar is a nightmare..... any tips how to clean it ?

Damp microfibre cloth, don't use chemicals.
Or did you mean sticking? Then see below

If cleaning it doesn't work, replacement keyboards can be had on ebay for less than £15 (depending on the model) and are not generally hard to fit.

Nothing useful to add to the problem but I suggest that if you clean up the gunk stuff I would suggest that you install Anti-Vinus from of these choices :beer:

Upturn laptop and locate small screws indicating keyboard. Turn anti-clockwise, carefully upright laptop and displace keyboard a little and unlatch light flexi ribbon cable. Wash keyboard in something like IPA from Maplins, about £10/litre. Air dry and replace in reverse order.
Drink beer.
