Use 99% isopropyl alchahol and just wipe it off with a lint free cloth (I just use my shirt). You can also buy ArcticSilver ArcticClean, I use it and it does a great job http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100010.

Me: Yeah I just really can't get my H220 working again, I've tried everything that was suggested in the forum.

Brian (Swiftech Support): Hmm, have you tried slapping it?

You can also use Coffee Filters. They are lint free (imagine lint in your coffee... ew).

Basically yeah. 

Or you can get alcohol wipes (the things diabetics use when they check their blood sugar levels) and just use those. They are perfect for it.
