What's been driving me crazy the past few weeks is the sticky SHIFT key on my laptop. My cat accidentally knocked over my coffee a few weeks ago and it spilled onto my keyboard. It wasn't a big problem, I cleaned it up quickly but one key was affected - the SHIFT key and I can't get rid of the stickiness.
It is so annoying, I'm not sure what to do...

I don't know what could help, you would need to remove the key and clean there, I guess it's the coffee under that now bothers you. At least the key still works, doesn't it?

@tzwrites Does the right shift key have the same properties? You might have to get used to it in the meanwhile. I kept a laptop whose N key didn't work at all, for a while.

As @LadyDuck says really, it should sort it out for you

It's time to buy a new one, before malfunctioned keys affect what ever your doing on your computer.

Did you remove each keys? Dry the board under the sun then stick the keys back

You do need to remove the key to fix it, it snaps right back in. If you are afraid then tale it to a computer repair shop, they can do it
