Care of your bass – Cleaning an untreated maple fretboard?

Care of your bass – Cleaning an untreated maple fretboard?

Hi, I have a Musicman Stingray and the fretboard appears to have absolutely no protection at all. Looking at photos online, these fretboards seem to get very dirty and that is accepted. Is this part of their charm? Why are they not treated? The stings are off this bass for cleaning and fret polishing. How do I clean the dirty fretboard without damaging it please?

Thank you
Justin
