I've just cleaned a sticky USB Bluetooth dongle using the legendary detergent Stardrops. I took off the plastic cover and immersed it in neat Stardrops for half an hour, then rubbed it down with a washing up spongepad. It seems to have worked well.

The availability of Stardrops is a bit patchy, but you can usually buy it in Wilkinsons or Savers for about a quid. One bottle lasts ages. It's a very versatile and effective cleaner.
