I use a green "Scotch-Brite" pad and denatured alcohol, wearing gloves and a carbon filter mask. Then, if the keys still stink, I put a cheap set of bushing cauls in the bushing slots, mask off the ivories ( 3/4" easy to remove blue tape works great) and lacquer them, with either clear or white and black lacquer. If the piano will be in an institutional setting where poorly raised people will not wash their hands before playing ( should be illegal!) I will actually spray the keystick with white epoxy gloss, which leaves a nice, smooth finish on the sides, to easily wipe clean later ( and fully reveal their sins!)
