 ... I've had success using the standard CD/DVD sleaning disc (the one with little brushes on it) As long as you're just cleaning dust (not remnants from a smoker) it's good for routine maintenance ... If someone is smoking you need to remove the cover and Q-tip it as suggested by ddp ...

Use 99% isopropyl (yes, there are different strengths)as it evaporates the fastest. Dip the Q-tip and shake off excess. Gently...you don't want to move out of alignment.
