Hey Darder, you should follow a guide for the tear down of the iPhone 5S and then clean each part with a soft brush and 99% isopropyl alcohol. You can follow this guide for more information.

Absolutely! Dardar, power your phone down immediately, and don't power it back up until after you've done the liquid cleanup. Leaving your device turned on if there's still liquid present (or residue left behind after the liquid dried) makes it far more likely that you'll short something out, and do damage that's expensive or impossible to fix.
