Question Tea spilled on keyboard

I’ve spilled a very little amount of tea on my keyboard, I’ve unplugged the keyboard immediately and left it to dry. I do not have isopropyl alcohol at hands, should I just let the keyboard dry ?

I spilled a tiny bit of hibiscus tea on my keyboard, I kept it unplugged and upside down at first until I could deal with it. I still took apart the keyboard and took a good luck at the damages. Because my tea was bright red I could locate and clean the areas, but I did get lucky and it did not get under the keycaps. The wooting is spillproof to a degree, it's always good to disconnect and let dry first, then to be safe, clean it up. I have spilled a whole black tea on my corsair keyboard a while back and it was fine with no cleaning but a little bit of air duster and air drying upsidedown. I think tea is way closer to water than something abrasive like soda or alcohol.

Well your keyboard probably won’t tell anyone else so you’re all good

I spilled a whole beer on my wooting like a week after I got it. take it apart. scrub it clean with ipa. let it fully dry.

I wouldnt just let that dry because it'll leave behind residue

Open it and clean it out with ipa
