What's the best way to remove accumulated grime inside a mouse?

What I have found is best is that you can remove the ball by twisting the bottom plate, and use alcohol & a q-tip. Just dip the q-tip in the alcohol, shake off the excess, you dont want it to drip, just to be moist. Just gently rub the grime away. Always use alcohol, due to the fact that it evaporates very quickly..... Done deal! \n\nAfterwards, you can also blow out the mouse with air can, like the others described. It will work well to remove the loose dust, but wont get rid of the grime.

I have heard that before but I personally wouldn't stick it in the dishwasher. Just make sure it's unplugged or the computer is off then use a can of air to blow off excess dust in hard to reach places then use a Q-tip or damp wash cloth to clean any dirty spots.

I am weird, I clean my keyboard and mouse with rubbing alcohol pads and my desk with Lysol wipes. That was before I found about that story about the bathroom. Dirty computer equipment has always bothered me. I have scrubbed old beige monitors with Comet cleaner..works real good!

If you have a monitor connected to your computer - which most people will else it is kind of hard to find out what's going on - then you'll know grease and dirt are all too easy to get on the screen.\n\nSo what can be done about it? Well, use a lint free cloth that is very slightly dampened with water (note not wet)\n\nThe problem is that many cleaners will actually damage the monitor and make it worse, so therefore always keep cleaning very soft and simple with a monitor.

take it apart from underneath, by twisting the ring around the ball opening...\nclean the ball wit alcohol, and then use tweezers to pull any lint and or hair from the rollers inside, blow inside to get dust and link out of it...\nput it together and see f it works.\nif it does not, get a new one at one of the computer stores.they do not cost to much,\nand t will stop any problems caused by the frustration from the messed up mouse..\n\ngood luck\nsmile

That's what I've been using for about 10 years.\nWorks great!\n\nEither use Q-Tips dipped in rubbing alcohol, or you can buy Alcohol Wipes at any drug store or WalMart, like a nurse uses before she gives a shot.\n\nDon't use paper towels or toilet paper, they leave pieces behind.\n\nALSO WORKS GREAT FOR CLEANING YOUR MOUSE!

Use a Cleaning program like CCLEANER .  This is my favorite program which only uses 1.31 MB of space and yet does a enormous job of cleaning all the junk out of your machine. Its also for free.  You can find CCLEANER from the following link:\n\nhttp://www.download.com/CCleaner/3000-2144_4-10592746.html?tag=lst-0-1

you can buy a cleaner kit at any computer store like radio shaq or staples preferably. It usually come with a special brush or cloth with which to clean it. recommended that you do not use paper towels and cloths around the house u may risk scratching it
