If it's any consolation - I did the same thing with a Pz-1p a few years

The fragility of focus screens has been discussed recently in other
forums as people seem to be damaging them. Personally I wouldn't touch
one with anything more aggressive than plain soap and distilled
water. There has been conjecture that they may be molded from
polystyrene, in that case contact from as little as remnant citrus
oils on your fingers could cause permanent damage. Best option is to
firstly not get them dirty and secondly use nothing stronger than
compressed air to clean them.
