How to clean my infant car seat base and seat frame?

I pulled out our infant seat to wash the fabric (I know not to wash the straps) and noticed that there is dried formula in the bottom of the seat under the fabric and also all in the base. What's the best way to clean this? I was just planning to use a damp towel with soap on it but I want to make sure this is a safe way to do it. My husband wanted to hose it off but I am pretty sure we shouldn't be getting the seat and base that wet.

For the record, we have the Chicco Keyfit 30. I can't find anything in the manual about cleaning the base and the plastic part of the seat. Thanks!

I usually use baby wipes as it's easier to get into the little cracks and crevices since it's thinner than a washcloth or towel.

If the straps and cover are completely off, I don't have a problem with hosing the big hunk of plastic off....
