I spilled coffee on my Mac, some keys are sticky, what should I do?

I accidentally spilled coffee on my MacBook Pro 13” a little bit and I cleaned it with tissue and a wipe while the MacBook was on. After cleaning it, nothing happened but some keyboards on the left side are sticky. What should I do?

There is no at-home fix for this. I recommend putting your homeowners'/renters' insurance on notice of an expensive repair or total loss of the device, as wetted computers rarely "heal" themselves. Most such policies provide coverage for accidental damage to tech gear.
