Are you talking about an acoustic piano or an electronic keyboard?
If it's an acoustic piano, you'll probably need to call in a piano tuner to come and give your piano a good cleaning-- assuming the typical piano tuner can also handle things like repairing or cleaning the keys, otherwise call a piano repair person.
If it's an electronic keyboard, you can check with the manufacturer or look on ElektroTanya.com to see if you can find a service manual for it, which should include illustrations and instructions for disassembling the keyboard for cleaning or repair. But be very, very careful about what you use to try to clean the keyboard with, because some cleaning liquids can totally ruin the electronic components or dissolve the plastic.

Just for the record I want to provide kudos to the thread title - one of the most left of centre keyboard topics I've seen.
And this is the first thread!

Destroyer of Eardrums!!!
I think if his music is so bad that people spit on his instrument he should give it up ad take up Trumpet. At least that has a spit valve.

We had a kid start to learn the trumpet, he lived two blocks away and we could hear him, purgatory.
At least with a keyboard the player can wear headphones or a strategic spilt drink will solve the problem.
Worst of the worst is surely the band that practice in their garage and think they are the new Metallica.

Well, if you treat it as any similar request due to spilled coffee or soda or fruit juice-- accidents do happen-- then it doesn't really matter what the source of the stickiness might be. Also, we have no idea how old the OP is, or for that matter their gender, so it's best not to assume they're "one of us" old male keyboard fogeys, or even a young male garage bander.
Have a word with the local cops as they use Spit Hoods ! Could come in very handy the next time you see that uncouth Cousin Lol
