Water inside MX Switch

Hey, I cleaned my K70 like 2 months ago and since one of my keys LED was dimmer. I noticed when blowing air over it, it gets brighter. I now noticed that when I blow air over it a droplet moves to un obstruct the LED meaning that water is inside the switch. I want to ask if anyone know how I could get the water out. It has been there for about 2 months.

It worked turning it upside down and blowing air into it as the same time as clicking the button.
