I used a few paper towels saturated with 91% rubbing alcohol. Scrubbed/buffed for a good 5 minutes, rinsed and dried, then applied a light layer of mineral oil (little goes a long way) and let it soak in for another 5 minutes then buffed and wiped. Amazing smooth feel and finish and literally looks and feels just like it did when it came out of the package 6 years ago.
The mineral oil is an absolute must- it's the wax coating to your car wash.

I use concentrated windows (Windex) or car windshield washing liquid for cleaning mouse and KB, they leave no residue and don't damage plastic like alcohol might and does good job. Great part is that most homes and drivers already have them.

Some plastics deteriorate with age and go sticky. If cleaning and oiling don't work, you may be out of luck. I have several old mice which are tacky and of no further use.

my wrist strap (wherever it is) is still in brand new condition as I don't use it... might still be in the box.
