I'd try a damp cloth with a small amount of washing up liquid on it. It's
used as organic aphid control quite commonly so I doubt it would hurt the
plant but try it on one leaf first anyway just to be safe.

This site has a good idea - showering the plant - but you may not find
it practical.

It might stand the shampoo but I'd go easy on the conditioner :~)
