How you you clean your vintage model boxes?

How you you clean your vintage model boxes?
Or do you clean them..........
I bought this .074 Ok Cub mostly because of the box. The engine itself is trash but restorable. It looks like someone glued it on a firewall after the radial mounting holes broke. Everything was bound up, back plate, needle valve, piston and crank case. A hot Simple Green soak loosened it up.
This is a case where the previous owner took reasonable care of the box but mistreated the engine. The box contained everything that came with the engine as pictured. I used a paper towel soaked in warm water and a mild detergent to wipe the box and some of the contents, but I'm wondering if there is a better way?
Some of the coloring came off on the paper towel, but it did clean some of the dirt and discoloration off. It came with a formed wire. Some sort of a tool or perhaps a nose wheel strut?
I'm surprised to see that the selling hobby shop took the time to stamp the warrantee.
