Best/easiest way to clean cork handlebar tape?

so i usually just use soap and water along with a scotch brite scrubby pad to hit the cork tape on the handlebars. involves a decent amount of scrubbing
to get rid of all the grime and restore the original color. this time, doing a little midnight touchup and not wanting to wash the entire bike, i used windex along
with an old scrubby pad and it came out a little less clean but acceptable given less mess and about 5 mins less scrubbing time.

does anyone have a tried and true best way to thoroughly clean cork tape in the least amount of time with the least effort? perhaps something you can spray on and
come back later and clean with decent results?
