Distilled water does very little as it becomes contaminated as soon as you pour it on the device. Dust, pollution, etc. has has it's way long before you start washing. You are going to find that if you have waited even a few short hours, the water has evaporated and your are left with the residue. A good scrubbing with warm water and a tooth brush (on disassembled devices) and then a good rinse with hot water will take care of the majority of the spill. Letting the devices sit in the sunlight for several hours or in your oven at it's lowest temperature with the door open for 15-30 minutes will dry the water without too much trouble. If you are afraid of plastic being damaged, you can crumple up some aluminum foil to insulate parts from the oven rack.

Of course the majority of damage has already been done. The caffeine in the Dr. Pepper has had a chance to act on the electrons in your devices. You know how it speeds you up, think of how it affects tiny things like electrons.
