Not sure on how a laptop keyboard typicaly operates, but if its like a standard PC keyboard you have two problems. The first is that the key mechanisms are now coated in gunk. To fix that, pop off the keys and clean them. The second is that liquid may have penetrated between the membranes, leading to shorts. If this has happened, you'll find some keys not triggering and others triggering multiple keys at once. The way to fix that is to dismantle the whole thing, clean and dry the membranes, and put it all back together. Ive never tried this on a laptop.
