I use the cheap, long-haired Chinese brushes sold in arts and crafts shops for all kinds of dusting and cleaning. They're shaped like a standard flat brush for house painting or oil/acrylic art painting. I like the long fibers 'cause besides being tough if one breaks off it's usually long enough to fish it out of a tight spot.

For tougher grime I use cotton swabs moistened with distilled water for leatherette, rubbing alcohol for the metal. I'd avoid using any kind of solvent - alcohol, etc. - on the leatherette since it might loosen the adhesive backing. I might use a very dilute solution of Simple Green or something similar for leatherette and plastic parts if really necessary, but always wipe it off thoroughly.
