Cleaning a soundboard is not a service I've thought of offering (or been asked for) in a customers house but my 2 cents RSA worth when cleaning is "dry wipe, wet wipe". In that you clean, brush, vaccum or blow out (compressed air-line) the dirt from an area and then wash with soap and/or detergents etc. - the point is doing it that way you avoid soaking more dirt than necessary into the material you are cleaning. Also, having palm trees around is useful. I get the spine of a palm leave and use that to poke the rags in under the strings, it is stiff and flexible and wont scratch like a piece of old bandsaw blade (teeth ground off) might.
