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!

iMac 24″, macOS 12.2
