I don't think I've ever cleaned mine, other than wiping it with a rag.
Soap and water will work, but if you wish to remove grease, Formula 409 is my go to cleaner that is not a solvent.
If there is any ferrous metal in your stock (pillars, etc...) use a hair drier to make sure all the moisture has evaporated so you don't start any rust.
(When I lived in Italy, my neighbors couldn't get over the cleaning power of my "Quattrocento Nove.")
