i clean my mouse once a week otherwise she begins to smell. i just use my mothers shampoo on her, and since she doesnt have a balls or fuzzie threads I prefer the blow drier. Now max (my pet snake)has a nice clean meal.

I had to do that quite a bit with my old mouse also. You should try one with the optical instead. Less maintenance, and they work just as well. Not pricey at all either.

i used denatutated alcohol plus cotton swabs. <don't use anything sharp, because you can damage inner wheels side of mouse
