The catering company handles the actual cleaning of this stuff, not the flight crew.
Already covered:

We'll see if the OP receives any compensation as I'm sure s/he won't be the only one complaining to DL if the odor was indeed that bad.
Sorry for the typo. I meant to say "catering." I've since replaced the batteries in my wireless keyboard.
