Default Cleaning Straw

I just bought my first Luger an alphabet commercial. It has original finish and straw. It is not 100%. I would like to clean it up a little bit. Is there anything I should avoid on the strawed parts? I was just thinking about a good scrubbing with breakfree or something like that. I don't want to ruin anything.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.

Randy, just about anything you might want to do to "clean up the straw" will probably remove the straw color. The straw is really a very shallow heat treated color and can be easily removed. I'm not aware of any polishes or cleaners that will remove the usual black oxidation from a strawed part. I personally would just leave it alone.
