At Apple have updated their phone care instructions to say that cleaning with 70% isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) shouldn't hurt. Just make sure that the liquid does not get into the openings of the phone.

Cleaning tips:
1. Use only a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use paper towels, which can scratch the surface of the phone.
2. Turn off your phone before cleaning.
3. Do not spray the solution on the phone.
4. Avoid bleach or other cleaning agents.
