Basically, you would like to clean up all the dust. Use a toothbrush to clean the sleek areas and you could use white vinegar depending on the base of the cloth. If it has a plastic or glass frame, you could just use a damp cloth to shine the areas.

Take the clock down. Get a clean rag, dampen it, don't soak it, wipe the clock, put the clock back.
