That was a good enough* question, but that's not a logical answer.

He could have followed all of the advice offered and got the result he
is now describing. Whether he did or not is not the point. There is
absolutely no guarantee that cleaning the keyboard as suggested
previously and drying it as suggested would  produce a perfect result.
Residual milk could well lodge in relatively inaccessible places.
Requisite drying times may be exacerbated by moisture retention in
foam or padding or due to wicking into a thin cavity. Removal may
require more effort than before, or may yet prove essentially
impossible.

His new question follows entirely reasonably from the new situation
that he finds himself in - regardless of how he got there.

The question was a new one relating to the suitability of using IPA
I'm surprised that you are not aware of the relative merits of using
IPA in such a situation.

"Don't use it if at all possible - it may do damage" is a good short answer=
..
Do an extended pressure wash with tap water followed by a purified
water rinse and then dry for  along long long time (say 1 week) in a
toasty warm place" is a good add on.
