Cleaning bar tape

I've got some nice new white (very "euro") bar tape on my TT bike, and its already getting a little grimey.

Any simple way to keep it clean?

Three months later and no responses???

I rarely use white, but when I have I cleaned it with Goo Gone. And no matter what, retaped after one year. With dark colored tape I just wait for the stuff to start disintegrating before I retape.

I have pretty white tape on my road bike and have been trying to clean it after every ride with baby wipes. But it's still starting to look dingy. :-( Going Euro isn't easy.

Those "green" degreasers seem to do the trick as well.
