Cleaning a maple fretboard?

I've got a chance at a used Fender (Mexican) strat but the maple fingerboard is dirty, how can I clean it?

I use the Gibson lemon oil on my rosewood fingerboards but it says on the bottle "not suitable for finished fingerboards" which I think refers to the maple.

Regards....Barry

Use a standard guitar polish for finished necks.

Thanks for the reply, when I bought the Gibson guitar care pack, there were three bottles in it. One of the bottles is called "Hi Gloss Polish" will that be OK?

Cheers....Barry

I am not familiar with that polish. Some of those kits come with a bottle of cleaner that is used before the high gloss, which can be just a pure polish with no cleaning component. Hopefully, the kit came with instructions or there are directions printed on the back of the bottles. I use a polish that combines both cleaner and polish.
