For light cleaning (finger grunge and the like), hot water and a denture cleaning tablet like Polident or Efferdent works very well. For heavier dirt and even some kinds of paint splatters, straight ammonia can't be beat. But only use ammonia on bakelite…it can actually melt some kinds of plastics.
