bread crumbs or jizz?
A can of compressed air and a vacuum I guess. Most laptops have keys that come off easily as well.

I prefer using keyboard cleaning putty. It's like a neon green putty that you smother all over your keyboard and it's crevasses. Drag it back out and it'll have picked up all the nasty junk. Works on other devices as well. I think it was 4 or 5 bucks. I've had mines in a jar for a long time. Used it maybe 6 times and it's still usable. Does a better job than air and vacuum as it picks up more than just loose dust.
BTW. There's a chance that your keyboard may be busted. It happens. You'll find out when you remove the entire keyboard or just the key if it's possible. Anything's repairable but sometimes it's easier to just pick up a new laptop keyboard. Generic replacements on ebay aren't too expensive.
Replacing the keyboard on my 17" HP laptop would cost me 50 bucks shipped.

Wow the girl in that video was hot. Her voice was sexy too and reminded me of how much I used to want hot American girls to like me and validate me. lol
But I'm talking about a laptop keyboard, not a desktop keyboard.

Use compressed air to clean laptop KB. Do not take it apart unless if you know what you're doing (laptops can be tricky).
Assuming that you're using the laptop at home, attach an USB keyboard to the laptop and use the external keyboard.
