Well, there is Syntaur KeyRenew, which really does work amazingly well:

It will clean off the grime, polish out light scratches, and get off the =
sticker residue - though hitting that sticker stuff with some rubbing =
alcohol first is probably a good idea.

Subject: [AH] Cleaning synth keys

Sort of a mundane question for here, but I don=E2=80=99t know how to =
search the archives=E2=80=A6

I recently re-acqured a Generalmusic S3 Turbo* that I lent to my brother =
and his kids so that they could =E2=80=9Clearn to play piano.=E2=80=9D =
Anyway, other than needing to replace the old NiCad battery soldered =
directly to the main board, it works perfectly except the keys are =
filthy- mainly dust and a few areas where there is some residue from =
stickers applied directly to the keys themselves. The keybed is a Fatar =
of some sort- the usual plastic. What is the best way to safely clean =
the keybed and remove the sticky residue?

thx!
