Oh stuff you're serious.
Yes, you need to take it all apart before cleaning.

It definitely depends on the type of mechanical keyboard he's using. The safest way I've found is to use a damp cloth (even disposable baby wipes) and clean it out that way after removing all of the bits and bobs. It's fiddly, but you just don't know if some of that water will get trapped somewhere in the keyboard.
Unless his keyboard can be unscrewed and have everything removed, that's when you can use the sink.
