I don't know if it's all keyboards, but I've cleaned my share with a moist 
cloth and the letters/numbers rub off eventually. Even from excessive use 
they rub off. Don't know if a washing machine, which agitates, would be 
good for that reason. Just my 2 cents.

I've a few sticky keyboards in my closet (so sue me, I'm a packrat! LOL!) 
that I'm gonna run through the dishwasher.

Oh yeah, I remember reading somewhere that if you take the keys off, make a 
picture of your keyboard beforehand so you remember where they all go back;-)
