CD cleaning question


I use a micro-fiber cloth to wipe my CDs down, but there always seems to be a few specs of dust left over. I was wondering if I could use the In the Groove record cleaner (a sticky roller that is intended for LPs) on CDs. It seems that it does not leave behind any residue, and might be just what I need to get those last specs of dust of the CDs. Any reason this would not be a good idea?

I just bought the Bryston BDP-1 digital player and I started ripping all my cd's in AIFF on to external UBS Mypassport Studio 1TB.
While I was ripping cd's ,opening jewel cases I cale across this note:

In the Compact Disc Audio System,digital playback combined with laser optics produces the most accurate sound reproduction possible.For best results,the Compact Disc should be stored in a vertical position to prevent warpage,and should not be exposed to direct sunlight,heat or humidity for a prolonged period of time.
Always handle the disc by it's edges to avoid surface scratches,accumulation of foreign substances,etc.
To clean,wipe the disc (in a straight line,from center to edge) with a soft,dry,lint-free cloth.
Do not use solvents,abrasives or record cleaners unless specifically indicated for use on Compact Discs.

The cd is CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL CHRONICLES VOLUME 2.
