Ok (but not for me).
The way I clean (a non-laptop) keyboard is by disassembling it and putting all
the parts in a fresh (i.e., clean) washtub of warm water with dishsoap, let it
soak for a few minutes, then rinse with clean water and let dry, often
overnight (I almost always have a spare keyboard, but right not my spares need
cleaning "-(
Not sure I'm brave enough to try a dishwasher -- do you leave it assembled?
(I'd worry about small pieces, the keys and small spacers under the keys
getting sucked into and/or stuck in the drain / garbage disposal at the bottom
of at least some dishwashers.)
You probably mentioned it, but I'd probably also turn off any sources of extra
heat (hot water or drying with hot air).
