Best way to clean CD player lens?


I tried to find previous discussions by entering; CD lens cleaning, CD payer cleaning, etc. but came up with zip.

Anyway, I have a Sony SCD333 player that I have owned for a few years and have never cleaned the lens. I removed the cover and the lens was totaly inaccessable to my naked eye.
I used to use an small air compressor with my old unit since the lens was right in sight. Any ideas on what I should use without the old "spinning lens brush" CD or taking my player apart? Or is the brush the way to go? I am trying to avoid sending it to a shop as this should be routine maintenance. Is it visable & I missed it? Please let me know the trick!
Thanks in advance, John

If it's playing CDs fine, and not skipping I'd leave it alone. I view cleaning CD lenses as a last resort, almost as likely to break something as fix it, and I only do it if my players are having problems reading discs.
Hi John
I had the same thought the other day. However my conclusion was the same as Sean's: if it ain't broke, why fix it? I am still not sure if it's the best way but this is what I am sticking to for now.

I haven't taken my C333ES apart before but I am surprised the lens wasn't visible. But if that is the case, then chances are it is clean! lol.

I like the answers. Yes it is clean inside, but I live in a very rural area which does have alot of dust. Near the high desert in So. Cal. Some Cd's have been chocking lately but perhaps it is their condition.
Happy Holidays & thanks! -John
