Acetone should remove oily residue safely. Consider a soft, natural-bristled brush to clean the tiny depressions, as synthetic bristles--and plastic brushes, as well--tend to dissolve in acetone...

I have had good luck with lacquer thinner and Q-tips for degreasing. There are other solutions like 91% alcohol, acetone, MEK, etc. I keep lacquer thinner in my shop all the time, so it is what I reach for first.
