Please don't use a rag.  Try a cotton swab (available at any drugstore).
Don't get them at a computer store.  They are tremendously overpriced
there.  Isopropyl alcohol is preferred.  Get it at the drugstore also.

Somebody is making a lot of money repackaging ordinary drug store supplies
and selling them for a 100 times what they are worth at a computer store.
