I don't think I would spray any type of alcohol on it, some solvents are 
more potent that others--wouldn't want to dissolve any of the little do 
dads. Air in spray can will remove the dust that isn't attached but won't 
remove the stuff thats been there a while. I would suggest a long bristled 
brush, not to stiff but firm enough to get all the nooks and crannies that 
a softer brush would just go right over..   Similar to a detailing brush 
you use on dash components...
Another thought just hit me---what a bout the ole dishwasher!!!!!  Place 
them in there and let 'er run, I'd of course test with a few before loading 
it up with all of them.  Just a thought...    --wayne
