don't touch it, anything you put on it will wipe away the letters on the label. For work when needing a replacement motor or part I use grease off to clean labels enough to read a serial/model number knowing that wiping off the years of organic debris may wipe out what I need.

Even using warm water with foamy soap fades out the letters and numerals.
