Without disassembling the remote first, you'll damage it.
It is not waterproof.

What make and model TV?

Look in the User Guide/Manual.

Very likely you will find some instructions regarding how to clean both TV and remote.

They sell electronic wipes for pretty cheap, also can just use a standard Clorox wipe or something, just wring out most of the moisture from it first.
I would not use soap on any electronics unless you take it all apart and just clean the plastic shell separately.
