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?

Agree with Zd542, Keep your CDs clean. Dust, finger prints and scratches degrade the sound quality.

Brushing does not remove grease or finger prints. For the latter it is best to just steam them, then wipe with a soft cloth.

I'm a complete slob, so I use this stuff. Some fastidious people like Robert Harley use it as well.

Might as well mention there's a boatload of excellent CD cleaners/enhancers, most of which have been around like forever, some or most of which address the sticky problems of static charge and mold release compound as well as surface imperfections, fingerprints and grease, including Optrix, Mapleshade Microsmooth, Jena Labs, Nanotech 8500, AV Xtreme Liquid Resolution, Walker Vivid and Auric Illuminator II.

Thanks, all. I have some L'Art Du Son CD cleaner, but I still end up with bits of dust after wiping. That's why I asked. Perhaps the consmetic brush as a follow-up to the liquid cleaner would do the trick.
