YES, spraying with Lysol could ruin the keyboard. Wait until the computer is OFF and take a alcohol cottonball (barely wet) and wipe the keyboard down.

what i would recommend is spraying a rag with a cleaner and then wiping it down unplugged. anyways that's what i do.

for desktops
step one, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE COMPUTER
step two vaccuum it with the upholstery attachment
step three dampen a sponge with one of these (never combine) disinfectant, lysol, 2 percent household bleach, or even one of those spray bathhroom germ killers. gently dab the keys so you see they are dampened,, then wipe it all with a dry, DRY DRY DRY nappy towel.
step four use hair dryer at low heat to gently dry any remaining liquid, then reconnect.
for laptops
omit step one

this web site tells you how.
for normal cleaning, use electronic wipes found at most any place that has computer supplies, usually 24 in a box around $3.00, each individual wrapped.

or you could just unplug the keyboard while the computer is on... no harm done.

yes you could unplug the keyboard; I never think of that cuz that would involve climbing under my desk and standing on my head to find the right connection to unplug....:-)
