Isopropyl alcohol would be my first go-to. Just like cleaning thermal compound. Use a coffee filter. It will be absorbent, firly stiff, and slightly abrasive. Work on each foot pad individually.

Teflon is pretty tough stuff. Remember they coat frying pans with it. If you don't scratch through it, it is almost inert with most household substances.

I don't know. What are you worried about?
If you don't like my isopropyl idea use something else.
The most likely contaminant is skin oil. You are going to need a solvent for oily things. Isopropyl is a great solvent for water and oil based things.

A moist paper towel will be just fine to use, try that and see. I don't use any special liquids to clean most computer parts, aside from screens and keyboards that have oils from fingers.

Whatever you have. You are WAY overthinking this.
