Peter,
The way I do it : Water + some Windex. Cloths. Good spot for light. Cart exchange setting. 6 right side carts out. Cap removed, do not use that screw behind the lower front panel anymore, that takes ages to remove and replace. Carts back in. Head replacement setting. Lid opened, and head carriage lid also opened. Clean what you can reach, be careful with the electronics at the rear of that station and no excessive spraying near the droplet detector next to the felt strip. There is a little vertical wiper near the felt strip too that wipes the backside of the heads. Clean that too. Close both lids again. Select any setting that lets the head carriage start moving and while that happens spray the wiper carriage, the pads carriage, etc. I let them wet and do not try to clean them further with cloth etc as that would require pulling the power plug at some points and several long power ups. But your case may be different. There is a risk that the head carriage returns fast while you are busy. Be warned. At the end do the head exchange setting again. Lids opened. Dry what you can reach. Including the rod the head carriage rides on. Give it some oil of the right description there. The hinged black lid in the station where inks drips on gets some silicon spray applied with a cloth, so ink will drip off better to the waste box. The sides of the box where the cleaning train rides on gets some dish wash soap for lubrication. Soap usually works well for plastic on plastic lubrication and is not hydrophilic so will not interfere with the inks that an oil or silicone might do when transferred to for example the heads. Soap will disappear at some point. Put some oil on the sponge that lubricates the rear bushing's path. Check the ventilator at the right side of the maintenance box, it still turns?, not too heavy painted with ink? Last time I took it off here, there is a connector close to it so you do not have to unwind the wire from the PCB at the rear. If you have to take it off then the printer has to be powered down first. Power it up again to check that the vent turns. Replacing the right side cover goes again through the carts exchange routine.
Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst Dinkla
