Batteries out, covers on, then:
Blow/Brush/Blow antistatic brush. it is probably an overkill and a handblower, none of that canned air stuff.
Light sweep with a microfiber cloth.
For any "hard" spots, a spot by spot rub with a light moist cloth (dish washer and water).
Screen and viewfinder with appropriate remedies.
I normally jump straight to the moist cloth with mild detergent. But @JensM method is a really good one.
If cleaning a weather sealed body. Attach a weather sealed lens and you can use wet clothes and detergent a lot more freely. And gently spray/rinse them off with water.

To be fair, there are a large number of photographers who would shy away from that despite how well made their gear is. Then there’s me with a Canon 1Dmk3 and lens in the sink under running water washing off mud and dirt after an off-road event.
I forgot to mention. You can use a soft toothbrush, or trim down the bristles on a small paint brush to remove stuff on the camera body. Especially in the harder to get to nooks and crannies.
I still have my G1 but the outer casing is covered with a rubberized plastic that softens and erodes over time.
I don't know a way of stopping the erosion.
Bose Headsets , Sony Radios and many other items of the day had the same finish and have not worn well.
