I use good old 80% isopropyl rubbing alcohol, just douse anything except the screen, fans, and harddrive with it, clean with paper towels / qtips / lint free cleaning cloth / etc, then blow-dry with the hair dryer on medium heat. Make sure there's no "Ion Shine" or "de-frizzer" crap enabled on the blow dryer, they be bad juju for this!
The alcohol is an approved cleaner for most (not all, but most, and the exotic stuff likely isn't iin a fruitputer anyways) electronics components, and it won't harm conformal coat or solder masking.
