DO NOT USE A KNIFE FOR THIS PURPOSE. YOU WILL SCRATCH THE
SURFACE OF THE LITTLE WHEELS, THUS CAUSING THE BUILDUP PROCESS TO
OCCUR AT A MUCH GREATER RATE IN THE FUTURE.
Use a Q-tip or other cotton swab, soaked in alcohol, to loosen up
the buildup on the wheels. Then, if especially hard to remove, use
some non-scratching material like wood or plastic to gently dislodge
the deposits.
