cleaning a laser


My DVD reader in my laptop is starting to mistrack on many DVD's that my home player reads fine. I can get to the laser easily. I am wondering about clenaing it with distilled water or alcohol or some other solvent versus one of those scratchy brush Cd's. But worried that any liquid besides water may hurt the plastic. Any input on the advisability?

Never had a problem with gentle use of a Q-Tip & a light dip of Windex. I believe this was once suggested by Alex Paychev of APL.
