I don't use a fancy setup like Barb. (too cheap) I just sit straddling a big trash can where I flick the old bushings with my dental pick, but I also have an old bath towel draped double over my knee. That same steam which loosens the hide glue so well also softens the gunk on the keytops. All I have to do is wipe them clean on the towel. (top and sides) I do have to frequently reposition the towel to get to a dry and clean part. It's absolutely amazing how black you can turn a white towel...
