I just spilled ice coffee on my keyboard like a “genius” (shouldn’t have had liquids by the computer) and it got under the keys. I turned the keyboard over to shake out the excess coffee and then I tried to get some more of it out with a can of air. Is there a better way I can get it really clean? I don’t want sugar inside the keyboard…especially if ants might get to it. I don’t wanna pull out the keys from the keyboard either.

get a screw and open it out from the bottom. But be sure to remember where everything is before you close it back. Or might as well buy a new one.

If you aren’t willing to temporarily remove the keys from the keyboards to wipe the coffee from each of the affected keys, then you really don’t want to deep-clean your keyboard.
Further, if you aren’t going to remove the keys to clean the affected area, then prepare yourself for the possibility of an ant invasion.
If you really want to have a clean keyboard that won’t attract acts, do what is required and remove the keys.
Stop avoiding the inevitable.

Cleaning a computer keyboard is probably a bit beyond your ability.
Call some small time repair shops.
If it has sugar in it, it will need to be cleaned with hot water after disassembly then dried completely.
It may have caused more damage than you realize depending on how much you spilled.
Don’t do that again!
