You did not say what sort of track you had, if it is regular plastic set type track that is made of ABS and lighter fluid can damage it. Here is a guide to what plays well with what:
https://www.coleparmer.com/Chemical-ResistanceHow you would clean the track would depend on what you might want to remove, or possibly not remove. If all you want to do is remove dust you can use a vacuum cleaner to get most of that. Be aware that fine dust goes right through a regular vacuum cleaner and will land right back on the track in time. A vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter would be better as would a central vac that vents in another area. In any case a vacuum cleaner may not remove all of the fine dust or dust that is down in the slots. A wipe with a Swiffer or a microfiber cloth works OK if the dust is not too heavy.
If you normally run cars with rubber tires those work best on a track that has been rubbered in, so you would not want to clean the track with anything that would remove much of the rubber. A mild surface cleaner might be the best bet in that case. If you use silicone tires those do not like a dusty track because dust sticks to silicone. If you get the bulk of the dust off by wiping down the track you can then clean the tires by rolling them on sticky tape. After a few cycles of running the car and cleaning the tires the track will be ready to go.
People that run silicone tires on regular plastic HO track often clean the track with WD-40. Spray it on a lint free rag and wipe the track down with that. WD-40 does contain about 11% oil, the rest is a mixture of organic solvents. The solvents will remove rubber and also grease and oil, the oil in the WD-40 helps to pick up all of the dust on the track. If you spray WD-40 directly on the track the solvents might eventually damage the surface and there might also be oil left behind. If you use a water based surface cleaner in a humid area try not to use a lot, the water might cause rust in places that do not dry quickly.
If you want to try a tack cloth some of those are coated with wax, that may get on the track rails and the cars won't run until the wax is removed with a solvent. It would be best to try a new tack cloth on just a few sections before you use it on the entire track.
