The nearest air compressor whose tank isn't too waterlogged is a good 
start.  Follow that with a light polishing of any card edge 
connectors with a school pink eraser & wipe the residue off with 
paint thinning alcohol.

Cinch glass cleaner sprayed on a paper towel and used to wipe down the 
plastic of the cases works fairly well, but a well used one will 
never get dirty along the front edge as your wrists will keep it 
polished clean as you type. :-)
