How to Clean Touchpad After Betadine Seeped Into Side Gap?

I accidentally spilled Betadine on my laptop’s touchpad. Some of the liquid seeped into the narrow gap on the right side of the touchpad. At the time, the touchpad was still working fine, but I immediately turned off the laptop out of caution. How can I properly clean the inside to prevent damage, considering Betadine is a thick, quick-drying antiseptic?

Answer this question I have this problem too

@anantasukm28899 Betadine comes off easily with isopropyl alcohol. Use the HP Elitebook 745 G6 Maintenance And Service Guide to work on your laptop. Page 56 will tell you all about your touchpad etc. Remove it, and clean it with some high grade isopropyl alcohol. Then reassemble and re-evaluate.
