Magic Eraser to the rescue!

http://www.mrclean.ca/en_CA/products/eraser.shtml

Moisten the magic eraser and squeeze out excess water, wipe keyboard and
mouse with it but not too hard or else the magic eraser will come apart on
you. Was trying to think of a better way to clean mouse and keyboard this
morning and remembered I had a magic eraser in the cupboard. Works much
better than any other cleaning method and removes years of grime in seconds.

FWIW, Tektronics (test equipment) and other electronic vendors use
industrial dishwashers to clean stuff coming in for repair.

Unfortunately, I don't own a dishwasher. I should buy one though because I
hate doing the dishes by hand.

Just do it in the sink. Hold the keyboad end up and use a brush &
washing up liquid. Let it dry thoroughly before use.

Then I don't have my keyboard to use for hours while it dries. With my Magic
Eraser method there was little moisture so just had to give it a quick wipe
dry with a microfiber cloth. I'm telling you, try the ME next time, it works
very well. ME works better than any brush. I discovered these when I was
trying to find a way to remove deep stains from my counter tops and this was
the only product that worked for me. Ever have a hard time trying to get
stains out from the inside of your tea and coffee cups? ME removes them in
seconds. I don't know how they work, I just know they do. They should pay me
for this endorsement.

It is a micro-abrasive. The material may also be soaked with something.

Thanks for the links, now I know how it works. I figured it was some sort of
very fine sandpaper property. I guess ME would be great for final sanding on
furniture you want a very smooth surface, like lacquer painting, or to clean
a surface that you want to paint over the top of without making any
scratches in. Probably great for preparing a quick paint touch ups on cars
too.
