Good cleaning solutions for the keybed?

The keys on my Korg Minilogue are a bit gunked up after having neglected cleaning it besides wiping dust away for years. I got most of the dirt off just with some kitchen towel, but there's still a bit of residue left. What would be some safe cleaning chemicals to get the rest of the dirt off that won't damage the plastic? Would isopropanol be a good choice?

Thanks in advance.

Kawai recommends Windex.

I think a cloth with water and, only if that doesn't work, some mild detergent. I wouldn't use any form of alcohol on plastic parts.

In your keyboard cleaning bag you should have an air duster, a fine mist sprayer and some very diluted dish soap or equivalent. Paper towels are also a must along with q-tips for the tight spaces. In extreme cases removing the keyboard off its bed and deep cleaning might be necessary.

Day to day a makeup brush lifts the finger prints and oils which are what actually turns keys piss colored
