You are right. It just smears around a gets gross. Basically what I read the natural finish woods (rosewood and ebony) require any oils. The implication is the maple boards can be cleaned with anything that won't damage the lacquer or leave residue behind.

I occasionally use lemon oil on rosewood and ebony fretboards. But everywhere else I use just a damp cloth these days and would do the same on a maple fretboard.
