not sure about cleaning from inside, but did you realize that all of the keys simply "pop" off? You can gently lift each key off and clean under it, then push it back on. You can do a fairly good job of cleaning the keyboard this way, especially if you wash off the key while it is off the keyboard!

After many years of cleaning keyboards, I find it better to clean with alcohol-free cleaning sheets such as iKlear Apple Polish Singles. Every time that I tried to clean by removing keys or from inside resulted in less performance afterward!

Good Luck!

For a serious primer on this topic try:

The instructions are beyond my skill level, but I think any questions you have will be answered here.
