So I've been using this keyboard for a few weeks now, and I've noticed quite a few fingerprints marks on the keys (Shame on me for not washing my hands every time I use my computer)

 

I've tried water, what else should I do? I have soap also.

Cotton swabs and alcohol did the trick for me. Or, if it's a mechanical keyboard, just pop off the caps and rinse them off in a sink. You can do that and it's entirely safe.

I second this. Rubbing alcohol is basically the be all and end all for almost every single pc cleaning endeavour.

Rinse with just water?

Water, soap, alcohol if you like. Just nothing that would leave lasting residue.
