The best solution is switch to an optical mouse. I often see them for
anywhere from $5 to $15 at such sources as http://www.isellsurplus.com
For cleaning a mechanical mouse try a "cleaning ball." It is a ball with
scrubbers and a special velcro-like pad. Apply some alcohol to the
ball, put it into the mouse, then move the mouse around on the pad
which grips the ball and makes it scrub the mouse rollers. These
cleaning balls sell for around $10-$15.
