I remember, in the era of the GPO standard dial phone, inheriting desks from smokers, people with chronic halitosis, greasy hair/ears or just a general tendency to shed skin cells.
In one place circa 1979 we had bottles of near absolute alcohol used with some sort of print duplicating package intended for addressing envelopes. It could equally be used with tissues to clean the yuk from the telephone handpieces.
Also good for cleaning phone dials which harboured all sorts of nasties. Got quite used to dismantling phones whenever moved to a different desk.
