[kooftspc11]

a q-tip? a broom? ive never done this before and id like some advice before i get into it

[necromantic]

I just use rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip. There's probably a better way to do it but Q-tips are just so convenient

[kondrae]

i use rubbing alcohol with coffee filters. works great. recommended

[mr. nails]

99% Isopropyl alcohol & Q-tips. 99% = faster evaporation.

pure Vodka.

I use Arctic Silver's ArctiCleaner kit- cleaner and surface prep in two bottles.

Prior to that I used acetone followed by isopropyl alcohol.
