> Just yesterday I cleaned it, removed every key etc. Its every time a total mess to put it together but I eventually made it.

I regularly clean my HHKB. I simply remove all the keys and lay them out in the exact same layout as they're on the keyboard, which makes it easy to then put them back on. I cannot believe the filth that's underneath the keys and always think: "I can't believe it's been that long I haven't cleaned it"... Yuck. Keyboards are disgusting!

I put the caps in a lingerie bag and toss it in the dish washer. Throw in the mouse pad while I'm at it, then go wild with isopropyl alcohol on anything that can't go in the dish washer.

Most keys were also upsettingly dirty. I think its like 2 years I cleaned it the last time. I put them all in a pillowcase and use the washer.

I tried a similar approach to yours the first time I did it and messed it up. I get better each time doing it. Its like a puzzle game. Took only a hour or so.
