NotSoSerious

Any other ways? (without removing the keycaps)

Not if you want to do it properly. Alternative is compressed air to get the worst out

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

Just pour some water in it (<- That was sarcasm.. Please don't do this, remove the keycaps...)

Bend a paper clip, a wire or something and 

use it as a keycap puller. it's almost like asking

if you can scrub the inside of your screen

without taking it apart :P

 

i have removed the keycaps without a tool

though, you just have to be careful, do it in 

the right order and try to apply somewhat 

even force on both sides.

Turn the keyboard upside down and shake it like a maniac. You can blow with you mouth too...
Other than that, they are not much stuff you can do without removing the keycaps.

Before I had a keycap puller I just used like a screw driver, I was very careful though but it worked.
