Its quite unlikely for it to be dirty from the back side, are you seeing 'spots' that you cant clean? i had similar issue on my acura and as it turns out that the cleaner i used once causes stains on the plastic.

take a pic if you can, if it really is dirty from the inside then youd have to remove the entire cluster to get the plastic cover off.

The best cleaner I've found is just 70% Ethanol with water if you work in a lab...I use that to clean my LCD screens with coatings on them and it's perfectly fine.
