UB 804 Neck

Anyone else felt that the neck wood could do with a bit of care?  It’s a lovely looking hardwood but I have noticed dirt and sweat marks beginning to appear on the fretboard under the strings. 
 

Perhaps wooden worktop oil or one of the guitar shop oils?

Yup, needs a clean from time to time.

I Clean the ebony fingerboard on my double bass with vodka on a kitchen towel. 

Looks like the ub804 has a rosewood board in which case vodka may be a bit harsh.  Real turpentine is good, or follow up the vodka with some walnut oil, wipe off excess then allow to dry.

Some people use linseed oil, I find it's too sticky.  Some people swear by lemon oil. 

There are special finger board oils too .. but mostly expensive repackagings of the above.
