Default Cleaning Sticky buttons

So, My friend spilled some juice on the center console in my car and now all the buttons in front of joystick are sticking pretty bad. I cleaned it as soon as I reached the house with a Microfober and warm water. But now it sticks in when I press it and slowly comes out over several seconds. Im afraid to get it too wet or use alcohol/electronic spray may peal coating on the buttons.

I tried to search for a professional opinion online but i couldn't find any.

Any ideas on how I can clean it? Or someone can provide me with part number of the buttons.

I cleaned it using alcohol swap. Used a toothpick to get the swap between & under the buttons.

thanks for the tip I had the same problem on my menu button and I took it in they said they cleaned it but the next day it was sluggish and it took about three seconds for the button to come back up I'm going to buy some toothpicks tomorrow

Default Sticky Buttons

The map/menu up/down buttons for the nav seem to be sticking all of a sudden. Is there any easy way to remove them to see if I spilled something, like keys on a keyboard just pop up when you remove them (pop them up)?

Also wondering if you can pop the buttons out like on a keyboard. Hopefully someone has attempted to do it with some success.
