I agree with wearing a dust mask and being careful about stuff coming out of the vacuum (if it is nice weather where you live, doing this outside would not be a bad thing.....). In terms of cleaning the units, while things like lysol or clorox cleanup might cause damage (I myself would try clorox cleanup on a non visible place and see if there is a reaction, but that is me), you might want to try washing it using anti bacterial soap (I think Dawn and the other dish soaps have versions like that). Another option might be using sanitizers like purel, I have used them on laptop keyboards and the like and they aren't harsh, so that might work to help kill any diseases that might be there (again, I would test it on a non visible place, to make sure it doesn't seem to cause a reaction). Dish soap alone likely won't kill that much of any pathogens there.
