Cleaning track

Hi,
What's the best way to clean Peco track? Obviously a track rubber is
one option but what others do people use?
E.g. Meths, lighter fluid, wet-and-dry paper, emery boards even?
TIA, Del.

I use a dustpan brush to get rid of the leaves, windfall fruit and animal droppings; a washing-up brush to get rid of the bird droppings, and a OO-gauge association track rubber to burnish the rails.
