Whoa whoa whoa. Don't touch those things.

Basically, it's a disc of plastic with a small brush glued to it. If any crap gets caught in the bristles, or if the brush is not all that high-quality to being with, your drive's laser lens will get scratched to oblivion and you will be even worse off.

If you never touch the lens, there should be no reason to clean it. In any case, just a cotton bud dampened in rubbing alcohol will clean it fine.

You open the drive door and look for the little glass eye.

If the drive doesn't have a door, then there's no chance at all of you or anything else having touched the lens, and you should keep it that way.

Rubbing alcohol, as in like ethanol. Not the drinking kind, as it is sticky and would cause more problems. Just look for rubbing alcohol, you can probably get it at a hardware store.

methylated spirits.

I use it to clean dvd lenses, VCR heads, it works on just about anything because it evaporates fast, completely and leaves no residue

Its like $2 a bottle at any supermarket and a bottle could last you years
