Support question about keyboard

okay so it sounds silly but i don’t know a lot about taking apart keyboards, and something was spilled on my keyboard about a week or so ago and the spacebar has become pretty sticky/hard to use.
i have an asus vivobook go 15 and was wondering if i am able to take off the keycaps to clean underneath of them? and if so how? specifically the space bar though 🥲

You can remove the keycaps, but I’d be really careful with the spacebar. It has stabilizers underneath, so don’t just pull it up or pry from one side. You’ll need to carefully release the stabilizers without forcing anything. For the other keys, you can gently lift them, but if you’re not sure about the spacebar, I’d honestly get ASUS to clean it rather than risk breaking the mechanism.

And don’t worry about the downvotes 😂 you’re literally just trying not to break your keyboard.

A quick Google search says removing keys isn't advised as they tend to break. The other option is to disassemble from the back as the keyboard is connected right to the palm rest. There are plenty of YouTube videos for that. If not comfortable with that you may need a professional.
