I don't know about the ADB mice, but for the older (Lisa, Mac 128k/512k/Plus)
mice there's no need to buy fancy mouse cleaning kits.  According to a friend
who was part of the team that did the mechanical design for the Lisa, the
roller ball was designed to be washed with plain old soap and water and dried
with any lint-free cloth.  As for the roller bearing and the opto-detector
shafts, I use a Q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol to get the gunk off them.
