I too tried something the other day.  It occurred to me that those static 
dust cloths advertised
may work well on the sounding board. A fairly clean board produced an 
impressive amount of
dust clinging to the cloth and it was much easier than trying to get a rag 
around underneath the plate.

The two products are "Swiffer" and "Grabber".  I used Swiffer since it came 
in a convenient sive.
(I used one on my car's dashboard as well, long over due.
