How do you clean refractor diagonal?

I have successfully cleaned the main and secondary mirror in a reflector several times with never a problem. Now I have one of these refractor telescopes with a 2" diagonal at one end. A little dusty I have dealt with a blower no problems. Now I have some water residue from dew but I dare not touch the surface.

What is the the accepted safe way to clean a refractor diagonal? I am thinking of gentlely flushing with filtered/distilled water but a little worried about what that might do to the insides of the diagonal housing! Anyone with some tips?

Thanks... Ken
