On the cleaning of mice with alcohol, please don't start doing it unless
you are willing to keep it up.  At PARC we discovered that once they are
cleaned with alcohol, they need at least a weekly "dose" to remain unsticky.

At one point we had dozen of "alchy" mice that had to be destroyed...

Of course, we weren't using the injectable alcohol; I think it was "100%" 
(meaning "dried" with benzene and hence too contaminated for human consumption)
ethanol was our concoction of choice .

I suspect that cleaners which remove the traces of lubricant from 
moving parts but leave traces of substances that attract moisture
are the worst offenders.
